A steel tape 1m long is correctly calibrated for a temperature of `27^(@)C`. The length of a steel rod measured by this tape is found to be `63.0cm` on a hot day when the temperature is `45.0^(@)C`. What is the acutual length of the steel rod on that day? what is the length of the same steel rod on a day when the temperature is `27.0^(@)C` ? coefficient of linear expansion of steel ` = 1.20xx10^(-5) .^(@)C^(-1)`.
