Rod A has twice the diameter of rod B, but both are made of iron and have the same initial length. Both rods are now subjected to the same change in temperature (but remain solid). How would the change in the rods' lengths compare

ΔLa/ΔLb = 1

Explanation:

The change in length of a solid is given by the following formula:

ΔL = α L ΔT

where,

ΔL = Change in length

α = coefficient of linear expansion

L = Original Length

ΔT = Change in Temperature

Since, the length and change in temperature for both rods are same. Also, the material of each rod is same, which implies that coefficient of linear expansion for both rods is same. Hence, the ratio of change in length of both rods will be:

ΔLa/ΔLb = 1

the temperature in kelvin of 2.0 dm3 of an ideal gas is doubled and its pressure is increased by a factor of four. what is the final volume of the gas
