Two rods, one of aluminum and the other made of steel, having initial lengths l1 and l2 are connected together to form a single rod of length l1 + l2. The co-efficients of linear expansion for aluminum and steel are αa and αs respectively. If the length of each rod increases by the same amount when their temperature are raised by t°C, then find the ratio l1/(l1 + l2).
  1. as / aa
  2. aa /as
  3. as/(as + aa)
  4. aa/(aa + as).

Answer

(D) a a /( a a + a s ).
