To find the coefficient of linear expansion of gold on the Fahrenheit scale, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit We know that a change of 1 degree Celsius corresponds to a change of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that the relationship can be expressed as: \[ \Delta T_F = \frac{9}{5} \Delta T_C \] where \(\Delta T_F\) is the change in Fahrenheit and \(\Delta T_C\) is the change in Celsius. ...
