A steel ring with a hole having area of 8.980 cm2 is to be placed on an aluminum rod with cross-sectional area of 9.000 cm2. Both rod and ring are initially at a temperature of 25.0°C. At what common temperature can the steel ring be slipped onto one end of the aluminum rod? (The coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 11 ✕ 10−6 (°C)−1, and the coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum is 24 ✕ 10−6 (°C)−1.)
