Answer to Question #254888 in Mechanics | Relativity for Daniel

Question

A hole of cross-sectional area 100cm² is cut in a piece of steel at 20⁰c.

What is the area of the hole if the steel is heated from 20⁰c to 100⁰c?

The coefficient of linear expression of steel is 1.10 * 10–5⁰c

Answer 1

$S=S_0(1+2\alpha \Delta t),$

$S=100\cdot (1+2\cdot 1.1\cdot 10^{-5}\cdot (100-20))=100.176~cm^2.$
