Current Attempt in Progress
The simple mechanism shown in the figure can be calibrated to measure temperature change. Use dimensions of a=22mm,b=86 mm , and L1=185mm. The coefficient of thermal expansion for member (1) is 22.010-6C. Determine the horizontal displacement of pointer tip D of the mechanism shown in response to a temperature increase of 44C. Assume that pointer BCD is not affected significantly by temperature change. Enter a positive value if tip D displaces to the right; enter a negative value if it displaces to the left.
