Question:medium

A steel rod of length 5 m and radius 2 cm is kept at room temperature and heated to 10°C above room temperature. The change in the cross-sectional area of the rod is (coefficient of linear expansion = \(10 \times 10^{-6} \, ^\circ\text{C}^{-1}\)).

Show Hint

For solids: linear expansion = αΔT, area expansion = 2αΔT, volume expansion = 3αΔT.
