An aluminum rod has a length of exactly one meter at 300C. How much longer is it when placed in a 400deg C oven? Linear expansion coefficient of steel is 0.000024/ 0C.
Added by Michelle F.
Step 1
The equation for linear expansion is given by: ΔL = L₀ * α * ΔT where ΔL is the change in length, L₀ is the initial length, α is the linear expansion coefficient, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Show more…
