Two ends of a rod, when placed along the length of a metre scale read 8mm and 5.2 cm. What is the length of the rod?
Added by Krystal P.
Step 1
We can convert 8mm to cm by dividing by 10, which gives us 0.8cm. Now we have two measurements in cm: 0.8cm and 5.2cm. We can subtract the smaller measurement from the larger one to find the length of the rod: 5.2cm - 0.8cm = 4.4cm Show more…

The length of an iron rod is measured by a brass scale. When both of them are at 10°C, the measured length is 50 cm. What is the length of the rod at 40°C when measured by a brass scale at 40°C? Alpha for brass = 24 * 10^-6 K^-1, alpha for iron = 16 * 10^-6 K^-1.
