A steel rod of length $1.0 \mathrm{~m}$ is welded to the end of an aluminum rod of length $2.0 \mathrm{~m}$ (lengths measured at $22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ). The combination rod is then heated to $200 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ What is the change in length of the combination rod at $200 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$

Key Concepts

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

This is a material-specific constant that quantifies how much a material expands per unit change in temperature. It is critical in predicting thermal behavior because different materials have different coefficients, which can lead to varying expansion rates even under the same temperature change.

Linear Thermal Expansion

This concept describes the change in length of an object as its temperature changes. The relationship is typically expressed by the formula ?L = ?L??T, where ?L is the change in length, ? is the coefficient of linear expansion, L? is the original length, and ?T is the temperature change. This fundamental formula applies to solid materials undergoing uniform heating.

Composite Systems in Thermal Expansion

When dealing with composite systems made of different materials, like a combination rod, it is important to consider that each section may expand differently due to their unique coefficients of thermal expansion. The total change in length of the composite system is determined by the sum of the individual expansions of its components, which must be calculated separately to account for their distinct properties.
