A man exerts a pressure of 2.8 x 10³Nm‾² on the ground and has 4 x 10−²m² of his feet in contact with the ground. The weight of the man is?

Metal rods of length 20m each are laid end to end to form a bridge at 25°C. What gap will be provided between consecutive rails for the bridge to withstand 75°C? [Linear expansivity of the material = 2.0 x 10^-5K‾¹]

A. 0.20m B. 0.22m C. 0.25m D. 0.02m Correct Answer: Option D = 0.02m Explanation Safety gap = expansion of the rod = α×L0×Δtα×L0×Δt where αα = linear expansivity of the material L0L0 = Initial length of the material ΔtΔt = Change in temperature ∴∴ The safety gap...
