Show Complete & Detailed Solution Steel rails on a train track are laid with a small gap between them at a temperature of -25 F. The cross-sectional area of each rail is 5 in^2. The steel rails are 40-ft-long. a. When the temperature is increased to 95°F, determine 8. b. Using this gap, what would be the axial force in the rails if the temperature were to rise to 110°F?
