KillGorack / Physics 2010 / Suppose the ends of a 20-m-long steel beam are rigidly clamped at 0°C to prevent expansion. The rail has a cross-sectional area of 30 cm2. What force does the beam exert when it is heated to 40°C? (αsteel = 1.1*10^-5/C°, γsteel = 2.0*10^11 N/m2).

The following physics responses are provided by a student and, as such, should be considered in that context. While every effort is made for accuracy, absolute correctness cannot be fully guaranteed.

Question Suppose the ends of a 20-m-long steel beam are rigidly clamped at 0°C to prevent expansion. The rail has a cross-sectional area of 30 cm2. What force does the beam exert when it is heated to 40°C? (αsteel = 1.110^-5/C°, γsteel = 2.010^11 N/m2).
Answer 2.6*10^5 N
