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 - Original length of the slab, \( L = 10 \, \text{m} \) - Initial temperature, \( T_1 = 0 \, ^\circ C \) - Final temperature, \( T_2 = 35 \, ^\circ C \) - Coefficient of linear expansion for concrete, \( \alpha = 1.0 \times 10^{-5} \, ^\circ C^{-1} \) ...
