An aluminum pipe has a length of 65 m at a temperature of 16°C. An adjacent steel pipe at the same temperature is S mm longer than the aluminum pipe. At what temperature (in degrees Celsius) will the aluminum pipe be 14 mm longer than the steel pipe? (Assume that the coefficients of thermal expansion of aluminum and steel are a, = 23 x 10-6/°C and a, = 12 x 10-6/°c, respectively. Also assume that the temperature of both pipes change equally.)

Question
An aluminum pipe has a length of 65 m at a temperature of 16°C. An adjacent steel pipe at the same temperature is 5 mm longer than the aluminum pipe.
At what temperature (in degrees Celsius) will the aluminum pipe be 14 mm longer than the steel pipe? (Assume that the coefficients of thermal expansion of aluminum and steel are a, = 23 x 10-6/°C and a = 12 x 10-6/°C, respectively. Also assume that the
temperature of both pipes change equally.)
