Suppose you have two meter sticks, one made of steel and one made of invar (an alloy of iron and nickel), which are the same length (1.00 m) at 0°C. The coefficients of volume expansion for steel and invar are 3.6 × 10-5 /°C and 2.7 × 10-6 /°C respectively. apparently, you need to use the volume expansion formula below & have B=3a. have no idea how to turn the length into a volume for this problem. have no idea what value alpha is...
