A composite bar of length L=1L = 1 m consists of a steel segment and a brass segment clamped between two rigid walls so it cannot expand. The steel segment is 0.50.5 m long, has area As=200A_s = 200 mm2^2, Young's modulus Es=200E_s = 200 GPa, and thermal expansion coefficient alphas=12times106\\alpha_s = 12 \\times 10^{-6} /^\\circC. The brass segment is 0.50.5 m long, has area Ab=200A_b = 200 mm2^2, Eb=100E_b = 100 GPa, and alphab=20times106\\alpha_b = 20 \\times 10^{-6} /^\\circC. If the temperature increases by \\Delta T = 50^\\circC, what is the compressive force generated in the bar?
