At what temperature will the rails touch end to end

Reference no: EM13314847

The steel rails of a continuous, straight railroad track are each 60 ft long and are laid with spaces between their ends of 0.25 inches at 70 degrees F. At what temperature will the rails touch end to end? What compressive stress will be produced in the rails if the temperature rises to 150 degrees F?
