A steel rod, which is free to move, has a length of 200 mm and diameter of 20 mm at a temperature of 15°C. If the rod is heated uniformly to 115°C, determine the length and the diameter of this rod to the nearest micron at the new temperature if the linear coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is 12.5 x 10 m/m/°C.
