question 11

Multiple Choice

The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is $17 \times 10 ^ { - 6 } \mathrm {~K} ^ { - 1 }$ and that of steel is $12 \times 10 ^ { - 6 } K ^ { - 1 }$ At $12 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ a steel rod has a diameter of 2.540 cm and a copper pipe has a diameter of 2.536 cm. If they
are heated together to a higher temperature, which one of the following quantities is closest to the
common temperature at which the steel rod will fit snugly in the copper pipe?

• A) \(350 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\)
• B) \(330 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\)
• C) \(340 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\)
• D) \(310 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\)
• E) \(380 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\)
