A steel tape is placed around the earth at the equator when the temperature is 10 ∘C. What will be the clearance between the tape and the ground (assumed to be uniform) if the temperature of the tape rises to 40 ∘C ?Neglect expansion of the earth. The radius of earth at the equator is 6400 km and αsteel=1.2×10−5 K−1.
