Find the final temperature of a copper rod. Whose area of cross section changes from 10 to 11 due to heating. The copper rod is initially kept at 90 K. (Coefficient of superficial expansion is \(0.0021\) )
From the data,
Area of a copper red before expansion () \(=\) 10
Area of a copper red after expansion () \(=\) 11
Initial temperature of a copper rod ( ) \(=\) 90 \(K\)
Coefficient of superficial expansion of copper () \(=\) \(0.0021\)
The formula to calculate the change in area,
Substitute the known values,
Final temperature of a copper rod \(=\) \(K\)
