An iron railroad rail is 790 ft long when the temperature is 40°C. What is its length (in ft) when the temperature is −17°C? (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.)
Homework Answers
Given,
The length of an iron rail road, L0 = 790 ft
Temperature T1 = 40 oC and T2 = -17 oC
The coefficient of thermal expansion of iron, a = 12 * 10-6 /C
We know,
L = Lo ( 1 + a 
T)
= 790 (1 + 12 * 10-6 (40 + 17))
= 790 (1 + 12 * 10-6 (57))
= 790.54 ft

A steel railroad track has a length of 24 m when the temperature is 8◦C. What is the increase in the length of the rail on a hot day when the temperature is 36 ◦C? The linear expansion steel is 11 × 10−6 (◦C)−1. Answer in units of m. 004 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points Suppose the ends of the rail are rigidly clamped at 8◦C to prevent expansion. Calculate the thermal stress in the rail if its temperature...

A segment of steel railroad track has a length of 30.000 m when the temperature is 0.0°C. (a) What is its length when the temperature is 40.0°C? SOLUTION Conceptualize Because the rail is relatively long, we expect to obtain a measurable increase in length for a 40°C temperature increase. problem Categorize We will evaluate a length increase using the discussion of this section, so this part of the example is an analysis Use AL aLAT and the value of the...

A 1 km steel railroad rail is fastened securely at both ends when the temperature is 20 C. As the temperature increases, the rail begins to buckle. When the temperature is 25 C how high is the buckle assuming it is triangular in shape? (The linear coefficient of expansion for steel is 11 X 10-6 K-1 )

The 40-ft long A-36 steel rails on a train track are laid with a small gap between them to allow for thermal expansion. Determine the total required gap, 2*6, so that the rails just touch one another when the temperature is increased from T1 -20°F to T2 90 °F. If the rails were installed at -20 °F with this gap, what would be the axial force in the rails if the temperature were to rise to T3 = 110 °F....

An ethanol railroad tariff is a fee charged for shipments of ethanol on public railroads. An agricultural association publishes tariff rates for railroad-car shipments of ethanol. Assuming that the standard deviation of such tariff rates is $1150, determine the probability that the mean tariff rate of 500 randomly selected railroad-car shipments of ethanol will be within $90 of the mean tariff rate of all railroad-car shipments of ethanol....
