To minimize the potential effects of rising temperatures on the force buildup in the rods, the engineer is considering adjusting the spacing between the rods (s). Please provide the engineer with the correct approach from the options below.

Question

Accepted Answer

The spacing 's' does not affect the axial force due to thermal changes in the rods.

Answer

Increasing the spacing 's' will decrease the force in the rods.

Answer

Decreasing the spacing 's' will decrease the force in the rods.

Answer

Increasing the spacing 's' between only the copper rods will decrease the force in the rods.

Answer

Decreasing the spacing 's' between only the copper rods will decrease the force in the rods.
