Answer:
Given that the distance between the two places is 200 km.
Thus, the maximum length of rails is 200 km.
Let the initial length of rails be l.
Change in temperature is ΔT=(117−36)
∘
F=(117−36)×
9
5∘
C=45∘ C
Thus, the final length of rails is l
f =l(1+αΔT)=(1+2.5×10
−5
×45)l=1.001125l
But, l
f
=200 km
∴ 200 km=1.001125l
⇒l=
1.001125
200 =199.77 km
Thus, the amount of gap in rails is 200−199.77=0.23 km
