Question:medium

An iron rod of mass \(2\,\text{kg}\) and length \(1.5\,\text{m}\) is supplied \(18.4\,\text{kJ}\) of heat. If the specific heat capacity of iron is \(460\,\text{J kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\) and coefficient of linear expansion is \(1.2 \times 10^{-5}\^\circ\text{C}^{-1}\), then the increase in length of the rod is: 

Show Hint

Always find the temperature rise first using \[ Q=ms\Delta T, \] then substitute into \[ \Delta L=\alpha L\Delta T. \]
