Chapter 16, Problem 65P
A 1.00-km steel railroad rail is fastened securely at both ends when the temperature is 20.0°C. As the temperature increases, the rail buckles, taking the shape of an arc of a vertical circle. Find the height h of the center of the rail when the temperature is 25.0°C. (You will need to solve a transcendental equation.)

A student foolishly attempts to stop a steel bar, of length L = 1 m and at a temperature of 20ºC, from thermally expanding by attaching it to a wooden support with a nail at each end. Steel's Young's modulus is Y = 1.1 × 1011 N/m2 and it's linear thermal expansion coefficient is α = 13 × 10-6 1/C. Randomized Variables
Y = 1.1 × 1011 N/m2α = 13 × 10-6 1/C
What is the volue of the stress, in pascals, that develops due to a rise of temprature to 21 C?
Assuming the nails have a cross- sectional area of A= 10^-5 m^2 all of which is perpendicular to the stress force from the bar, what is the force acting on each due to that temperature rise?
A motor car tyre has a pressure of 2 atmospheres at the room temperature of 27 degree C . If the tyre suddenly bursts, find the resulting temperature (y=1.4).
A steel rod and an aluminum rod are originally the same length, 50cm, at -8 degrees C. What is the difference in the lengths of the two rods at 110 degrees C? The coefficients of linear expansion are 1.2 x 10-5 K-1 for steel and 2.4 x 10-5 K-1 for aluminum.
