Answer:
A) = 77.6 ⁰C
, B)
= 341.6 C
Explanation:
The thermal expansion is given by
ΔL = α L₀ ΔT
The thermal expansion coefficient for polycarbonate varies between 65 and 70 10⁻⁶ ⁰C⁻¹ and for cast iron 12 10⁻⁶ C⁻¹
Let's look for the final temperature that says same shift change
ΔT = ΔL / α L₀
- T₀ = ΔL /α L₀
= T₀ + ΔL / α L₀
Let's calculate for each material
A) Polycarbonate use as thermal expansion coefficient 70 10⁻⁶ C⁻¹
= 23.0 + 0.0268 / (70 10⁻⁶ 7.01)
= 23.0 + 54.6
= 77.6 ⁰C
B) cast iron with thermal expansion coefficient 12 10⁻⁶ C⁻¹
= 23.0 + 0.0268 / (12 10⁻⁶ 7.01)
= 23.0 + 3.1859 10²
= 341.6 C
