A circular cross-sectional rod made of AISI Type 303 Stainless Steel is normally operated at 126oF. Length and radius of the rod are 1.5 ft and 1.75 in., respectively. What would be the change in length of the rod, if it is subjected to a temperature of 214oF? Coefficient of thermal expansion of the rods’ material is 9.6 × 10^-6 in./in. Degrees Fahrenheit.
