The coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 1 xx 10^(-5)/^@C . How much expansion should engineers anticipate in a 2000 m steel bridge, if it undergoes a change in temperature from 0^@C to30^@C ?

Answer»

Solution :Here it is GIVEN that
`alpha = 1 xx 10^(-5) PER^@C, Delta theta = 30^@ C-0^@C = 30^@C`.
`l_1 = 2000 m` . HENCE the EXPANSION to be anticipated is given by
`Delta l = 2000 m xx 30^@Cxx 1 xx10^(-5) per^@C=0.6m`.
