Question:medium
The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is increased from $T_1$ to $T_2$ resulting in increase of its length by $\Delta L_1$. The temperature is further increased from $T_2$ to $T_3$ such that the increase in its length is $\Delta L_2$.
Given $T_3 + T_1 = 2T_2$ and $T_2 - T_1 = \Delta T$, the value of $\Delta L_2$ is ________.

- Two rods of equal length 60 cm each are joined together end to end. Coefficient of linear expansions of the rods are \( 24 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{°C}^{-1} \) and \( 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{°C}^{-1} \). Their temperatures are the same and equal to \( 30^\circ \text{C} \), which is increased to \( 100^\circ \text{C} \). Find final length of the combination (in cm).
