Answer:
The temperature is [tex]T = -106 ^oC[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The temperature is [tex]T_1 = T_t= T_a=15^oC[/tex]
The diameter is [tex]d_1 = 0.5001 cm[/tex]
The diameter of the hole [tex]d_2 = 0.500 \ cm[/tex]
The coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum is [tex]\alpha _1 = 25 *10^{-6} \ ^oC^{-1}[/tex]
The coefficient of linear expansion for titanium is [tex]\alpha _2 = 8.5 *10^{-6} \ ^o C^{-1}[/tex]
According to the law of linear expansion
[tex]d = d_o (1 + \alpha \Delta T )[/tex]
Where [tex]d_o[/tex] represents the original diameter
So for aluminum
[tex]d_a = d_1 (1 + \alpha_1 (T- T_a) )[/tex]
Where [tex]d_a[/tex] is the new diameter of aluminum
[tex]T_a[/tex] is the new temperature of the aluminum
So for titanium
[tex]d_t = d_2 (1 + \alpha_1 (T- T_t) )[/tex]
Where [tex]d_t[/tex] is the new diameter of titanium
[tex]T_t[/tex] is the new temperature of the aluminum
So for the aluminum rivets to fit into the holes
[tex]d_a = d_t[/tex]
=> [tex]d_1 (1 + \alpha_1 (T- T_a) ) = d_2 (1 + \alpha_2 (T- T_t) )[/tex]
Making T the subject of the formula
[tex]T = \frac{(d_1 - d_2 ) + (d_2 *\alpha_2 T_t) - d_1 \alpha_1 * T_a }{d_2 \alpha_2 - d_1 \alpha_1 }[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]T = \frac{(0.501 - 0.500 ) + (0.500 *(8.5*10^{-6}) * 15) - 0.500* (25*10^{-6}) * 15 }{0.500 * (8.5 *10^{-6}) - 0.501 * (25 *10^{-6}) }[/tex]
[tex]T = -106 ^oC[/tex]
