an iron rod of length 100m at 10 degree Celsius is used to measure a distance of 2km on a day when the temperature is 40 degree Celsius. Calculate the error in measuring the distance​

Answer:

0.68 m

Explanation:

α = dL / L1*(dT)

dL = L1(dT) * α

Initial length, L1 = 100

Chang in Length =dL

α linear expansivity ; dL = change in length ; dT = change in temperature ; L1 = initial length

α of iron rod = 1.13 * 10^-5 k

dL = 100(40 - 10) * 1.13 * 10^-5

dL = 100(30) * 1.13 * 10^-5

dL = 3000 * 1.13 * 10^-5

dL = 3390 * 10^-5

dL = 0.0339 m

Error :

Distance measured = 2km = (2 * 1000) = 2000m

[Distance measured / (initial length + change in length)] × change in length

Error = (2000 / (100 + 0.0339)) * 0.0339

Error = (2000 / 100.0339) * 0.0339

Error = 19.993222 * 0.0339

Error = 0.6777702

Error = 0.68 m
