An alumium rod when measured with a steel scale both being at 25 degree celcius appears to be 1 meter long. If the scale is correct at 0 degree celcius, what is the true length of the rod at 25 degree celcius? What wull be the length of rod at 0 degree celcius?​

Given:
temperature at which the rod is measured= 25°
length of aluminium rod measured at 25°C= 1 meter
temperature at which the scale is correct= 0°C
Linear expansivity of steel= 12* 10^-6
linear expansivity of aluminum= 26* 10^-6
To find:
True length of rod at 25°C
Length of rod at 0°C
Solution:
Let the length of the aluminum and steel rod at 0°C be L0A and L0S respectively.
Length of the steel scale at 25°C , thermal expansion is:
LA25 = LA0(1+ (αS - αA)25)
LA0 = LA25/ (1+ (αS-αA)t)
LA0 = 100/ (1+ (12*10^-6 - 26*10^-6)25)
LA0 ≈ 100.05 cm at 0°C
2. Let the length at 25°C of the aluminium trod be LA25
The actual measure of aluminum rod at 25°C, will be
LA25 = 100 * (1+ 26* 10^-6*25)
LA25 ≈ 100.06 cm

Is a  vector quantity  that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
