A metal rod has a length of 2 meters and has an initial temperature of 20°C. It is connected to a heat source and the temperature of the rod begins to increase. What is the maximum temperature (in Celcius) we can allow if the change in length should not be more than 0.5% of the initial length? Take =1.0x10-5/°C
