The (linear) thermal expansion coefficient of an object is defined to be where L(T) is the length
Question:
The (linear) thermal expansion coefficient of an object is defined to be
where L(T) is the length of the object when the temperature is T. Suppose a 50-meter span of a bridge is built of steel with σ = 1.4 × 10−5 per degree Celsius. Approximately how much will the length change during a year when the temperature varies from −20ºC (winter) to 35ºC (summer)?
