If a bar is made of copper whose coefficient of linear expansion is one and a half times that of iron, the ratio of the force developed in the copper bar to the iron bar of identical lengths and cross-sections, when heated through the same temperature range (Young’s modulus for copper may be taken equal to that of iron) is |
