How large should the gaps be

Reference no: EM13686959

Problem: Older railroad tracks in the U.S. are made of 12 m-long pieces of steel. When the tracks are laid, gaps are left between the sections to prevent buckling when the steel thermally expands. If a track is laid at 16^oC,

A. How large should the gaps be if the track is not to buckle when the temperature is as high as 50^oC?

I need help for above question.
