A rod of initial length 2m at a temperature of 25oC is heated to 80oC. Calculate the increase in length of the rod if its linear expansivity is 4.0 x 10-3K-1

A.

0.26m

B.

0.44m

C.

0.53m

D.

0.84m

Correct answer is B

\(l_2 - l_1 = \alpha l_1 (\theta_2 - \theta_1) = 4.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 2(80 - 25)\)

= 0.44m
