"Amount of linear expansion of the building :"3.3*10^(-3)m

Explanation:

"The increase in the temperature of the steel building causes its" "extension. Amount of expansion is directly proportional to;"

  • the length of the building.
  • the amount of temperature change.
  • the coefficient of linear expansion of the steel.

"We can write the equation in the following way."

Delta l=L_i*lambda*Delta t

"Where ;"

Delta l:"amount of linear expansion"
l_i:"initial length"
Delta t:"change of temperature"
lambda:"coefficient of linear expansion"

Delta l=15*11*10^(-6)*20
Delta l=3300*10^(-6)
Delta l=3.3*10^(-3)m
