A surveyor uses a steel measuring tape that is exactly 50.000 m long at a temperature of `20^(@)C`
What is its length on a hot summer day when the temperature is `35^(@)C`? `(alpha_("steel")=1.2xx10^(-5)K^(-1))`

Text Solution

To find the length of the steel measuring tape at a temperature of 35°C, we can use the formula for linear thermal expansion: \[ L = L_0 + L_0 \cdot \alpha \cdot \Delta T \] Where: - \(L\) is the final length of the tape, ...
