Two straight metallic strips each of thickness $t$ and length $\ell$ are rivetted together. Their coefficients of linear expansions are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$. If they are heated through temperature $\Delta T$, the bimetallic strip will bend to form an arc of radius

  • A

    $\left.t /\left\{\alpha_1+\alpha_2\right) \Delta T \right\}$

  • B

    $t /\left\{\left(\alpha_2-\alpha_1\right) \Delta T\right\}$

  • C

    $t\left(\alpha_1-\alpha_2\right) \Delta T$

  • D

    $t\left(\alpha_2-\alpha_1\right) \Delta T$
