Work done is equal to force by distance; so you take the force exerted, in newtons, and multiply that by the direction it's moved (from the starting point in a line, not along the path it's taken.)
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1 degree Celsius.
Answer:
The length of rod A will be <u>greater than </u>the length of rod B
Explanation:
We, know that the formula for final length in linear thermal expansion of a rod is:
L' = L(1 + ∝ΔT)
where,
L' = Final Length
L = Initial Length
∝ = Co-efficient of linear expansion
ΔT = Change in temperature
Since, the rods here have same original length and the temperature difference is same as well. Therefore, the final length will only depend upon the coefficient of linear expansion.
For Rod A:
∝₁ = 12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹
For Rod B:
∝₂ = β₂/3
where,
β₂ = Coefficient of volumetric expansion for rod B = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹
Therefore,
∝₂ = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹/3
∝₂ = 8 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹
Since,
∝₁ > ∝₂
Therefore,
L₁ > L₂
So, the length of rod A will be <u>greater than </u>the length of rod B
