City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 2025 Engineering Question 11
Practice objective / multiple choice question 11 from the 2025 City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 Engineering examination.
A steel rod 2.0 m long with a cross‑sectional area of 20 mm² is subjected to a tensile load of 50 kN and a uniform temperature rise of 30 °C. The Young's modulus of steel is \(200\text{ GPa}\) and its coefficient of linear expansion is \(12\times10^{-6}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}\). Assuming the load and temperature change act simultaneously, calculate the total change in length of the rod. Give your answer in millimetres to two decimal places.
