In a certain bimetallic strip, the brass strip is 0.100% longer than the steel strip at a temperature of 330 degrees Celsius. At what temperature do the two strips have the same length? Coefficients of linear expansion for steal alpha = 12.0 x 10^-6 K^-1 and for brass alpha = 19.0 x 10^-6 K^-1 (see figure)
