Suppose the ends of a 20-m long steel beam are rigidly clamped at 0 C to prevent expansion. The rail has a cross-sectional area of 15 cm2. What force does the beam exert when it is heated to 40 C? ( steel = 1.1 * 10 - 5/C , Ysteel = 2.0 * 1011 N/m2)
A) 2.6 *0 105 N
B) 5.6 * 104 N
C) 1.3 * 105 N
D) 6.5 * 102 N
