Question

The coefficient of linear expansion of a metal is 2.5×10 power-7/F Its value indegree celsius

Answer 1

The coefficient of linear expansion of a metal in degree Celsius is 4.5-5*10^(-7).

• Thermal coefficient given as 1/°F and 1/°C represents length/length/degree fahrenheit and length/length/degree celsius.

• 1/°F is approximately 1.8 to 2 times the 1/°C.

                  1/°F= 1.8-2 1/°C

                  2.5×10^(-7) 1/°F= 4.5×10^(-7) - 5×106(-7) 1/°C
