stuck with a problem...on linear thermal expansion of solids
I just read a problem 2day...it's on linear thermal expansion of soild...can anyone guide me through...it says..." A sqaure ABCD is made with two different metals...the coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal which made AB & CD is alpha (don't know how to type alpha) & the same of the metal which made BC & AD is beta (??)..Now if the temperature of the system is increased by t. then prove the angle between the diagonals will change by (alpha - beta).t/2 " ?
can u pls help...
thanks
