Solve the following examples.
Given data:
● Length of iron rods = 20 m
● The temperature of bridge = 18°C
● Distance between rods = 0.4 cm
Calculation:
The expression to calculate the final temperature in linear expansion of solid is as follows.
![]()
●
= temperature up to which bridge be in good shape
●
= The initial temperature of brthe idge
●
= change in length
●
= original length of iron rod
●
= The coefficient of linear expansion of iron. Its value is 11.5×10-6 °C.
Substitutes the given values and value of
in the above equation.

= 35.4 ![]()
The maximum temperature up to which the bridge be in good shape is 35.4
.
