Homework Statement
A brass ring of diameter 10.00cm at 20.0*C is heated and slipped over an aluminum rod of diameter 10.01cm at 20.0*C. Assuming the average coefficients of linerar expansion are constant, to what temperature must the combination be cooled to separate the two metals?
Homework Equations
[tex]\alpha[/tex] of brass = 19e-6
[tex]\Delta[/tex]A = [tex]\gamma[/tex] A_o[tex]\Delta[/tex]T
The Attempt at a Solution
That's the equation i believe i should be using, but somehow i don't really even know where to begin except for plug and chug. I'm supposed to get the answer of -179*C. =[ please help!
