QuestionProblem 6: ( 8%8 \% of Assignment Value) Consider steel railroad rails, which have a thermal coefficient of linear expansion of 1.20×105/C1.20 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. Martin, Charlie - charlierob7777@outlookcom may result in termination of your Expert TA Account.
How large an expansion gap, in meters, should be left between such rails if they may reach a maximum temperature 34C34^{\circ} \mathrm{C} greater than when they are laid? Assume their initial length is 10.0 m . ΔL=\Delta L= m \begin{tabular}{lr} Grade Summary & \\ Deductions & 0%0 \% \\ Potential & 100%100 \% \end{tabular}

Studdy Solution
The expansion gap should be **0.00408 meters**.
