Answer:

The difference in diameter between the two ends is 1.757''

Explanation:

Given;

length of a bar of cast iron, L = 18.125"

initial diameter of the bar, d₁ = 0.983"

final diameter of the bar, d₂ = 2.74"

The difference in diameter between the two ends of the bar is calculated as;

difference in diameter = d₂ - d₁

difference in diameter = 2.74" - 0.983"

difference in diameter = 1.757''

Therefore, the difference in diameter between the two ends is 1.757''
