Suppose due to a bad break of your femur, you require the insertion of a titanium rod to help the fracture heal. The coefficient of linear expansion for titanium is α = 8.60 × 10−6 K−1, and the length of the rod when it is in equilibrium with the leg bone and muscle at 37.0°C is 3.80 cm. How much shorter was the rod at room temperature (20.0°C)?
A brass rod of length 50 cm and diameter 3.0 mm is joined to a steel rod of the same length and diameter. What is the change in length of the combined rod at 250 °C, if the original lengths are at 40.0 °C? Is there a ‘thermal stress’ developed at the junction ? The ends of the rod are free to expand (Co-efficient of linear expansion of brass = 2.0×10-5 K-1 steel =1.2×10-5 K-1
A copper bar is 1.00 m long at 20 degrees Celsius. At what temperature will it be shorter by 1.0 mm? The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 17EXP-6 /oC) ( unit is read as: per degree Celsius)
