A steel railroad track has a length of 39 m
when the temperature is 8°C.
What is the increase in the length of the
rail on a hot day when the temperature is
37°C? The linear expansion coefficient of
steel is 11 x 10 6 (°C) 1.
Answer in units of in.

Acarpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 2.9 cm thick on the outside and a layer of styrofoam insulation 2.3 cm thick on the inside wall surface. the wood has k=0.080w/(m⋅k), and the styrofoam has k= 0.010 w/(m⋅k). the interior surface temperature is 19.0 ∘c , and the exterior surface temperature is -15.0 ∘c . a.)what is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the styrofoam? celsius b.)what is the rate of heat flow per square meter through this wall? /m^2
