1. A thermally operated contact mechanism is shown. If heated above the ambient temperature of 20°C (where
EB is vertical) to a specified temperature the contacts at E and F will meet. EB is rigid while DC is made of
aluminum (E = 68.9 GPa) and BA is bronze (E = 103 GPa). If the specified temperature is 110°C find the required
spacing s needed. Use aai= 24x106/°C and ag, =17.1x10/°C.
Ans: 0.7425 mm
200 mm
400 mm
300mm
