A metal bar 50cm long at 15°c is heated to 85°c. If it expands by 0.088cm, determine its linear expansivity.
Given:
l0=50 cml_0=50\:\rm cml0=50cm
Δl=0.088 cm\Delta l=0.088\:\rm cmΔl=0.088cm
Δt=70 K\Delta t=70\:\rm KΔt=70K
The thermal expansion is described by an equation
Hence, the linear expansivity
