A concrete slab has a length of 10 m on a winter night when the temperature is `0^@C`. Find the length of the slab on a summer day when the temperature is `35^@C`. The coefficient of linear expansion of concrete is `1.0xx10^(-5) C^(-1)`.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the length of a concrete slab at a higher temperature, we can use the formula for linear expansion. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Initial length of the slab, \( L_0 = 10 \, \text{m} \) - Initial temperature, \( T_0 = 0^\circ C \) - Final temperature, \( T_f = 35^\circ C \) - Coefficient of linear expansion of concrete, \( \alpha = 1.0 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{C}^{-1} \) ...
