Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the final length of a steel rod (length 5.0 m, initial temperature 25°C) when heated to 75°C. The coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 1.1 × 10^-5 °C⁻¹.

💡 Hint: Remember to apply the linear expansion formula correctly.

Question 2

A wooden beam of original dimensions 4.0 m x 0.2 m x 0.15 m, expands uniformly when heated from 20°C to 80°C. Calculate the increase in volume if the coefficient of volumetric expansion is 3 × 10^-4 °C⁻¹.

💡 Hint: Track your calculations for each phase of expansion.
