Answer:
α = 2.13 10⁻⁵ C⁻¹ , the closest material is ALUMINUM
Explanation:
The expression for thermal expansion is
ΔL = α L₀ ΔT
temperatures are
ΔT = 85 - 10 = 75 ° C
the length of the rod is L₀ = 125 m and L_f = 125.20 m
ΔL = 125.20 - 125 = 0.20 m
α = [tex]\frac{1}{L_o} \frac{\Delta L }{\Delta T}[/tex]
α = [tex]\frac{ 1}{125} \ \frac{0.20 }{75}[/tex]
α = 2.13 10⁻⁵ C⁻¹
When reviewing the table, the closest material is ALUMINUM
