A steel bridge, considered as a 1D object, is 800 m long at room temperature (25 ̊C). If the coldest temperature at night is 16 ̊C and the hottest temperature during the day is 34 ̊C. What is the maximum change (∆L) of the bridge? The coefficient of linear expansion of the steel is 11.0 × 10-6 ( ̊C)-1. (I have already asked one time. But I wonder if we can only find one delta L of temp Maximum? Because T is the same, we chose one)
