- Older railroad tracks in the U.S. are made of Part A 12-m-long pieces of steel. When the tracks are laid, gaps are left between the sections to prevent buckling when the steel thermally expands. If a track is laid at 16° C, how large should the gaps be if the track is not to buckle when the temperature is as high as 50° C? The coefficient of linear expansion of soft steel is 1.1 × 10-5 °C-1.
