The coefficient of thermal expansion of a rod is temperature-dependent and is given by the formula α = a T , where a is 3.465 × 10 - 5 ° C - 2 and T in o C . If the length of the rod is l at temperature 0 o C , then the temperature at which the length will be 2 l is [Given, ln 2 = 0 . 693 ]
Options
- A12 o C
- B20 o C
- C200 o C
- D100 o C
Correct answer
C. 200 o C
Step-by-step solution
As; d l = α l d T ∴ ∫ l 2 l d l l = a ∫ 0 T T d T ln 2 = a T 2 2 ∴ T = ln 4 a 1 2 = 2 × 0.693 3.465 × 10 - 5 1 2 = 2 5 × 10 5 = 200 o C
