The steel rails for a railroad track (E, = 29 x 106 psi, a, = 6.5 x 106/°F) were laid out at a temperature of 30°F. Determine the normal stress in the rails when the temperature reaches 125°F assuming that the rails (a) are welded to form a continuous track, (b) are 39 ft long with - in. gaps between them.
