Linear expansion
ΔL = αLΔT
Where: ΔL = Linear expansion, ΔT = change in temperature (K), L = length (m) / angular momentum / inductance, α = angular acceleration (rad/s²)
Solved example
Given: Delta_T = 7, L = 5, alpha = 10
Find: Delta_L (Linear expansion)
- Formula: ΔL = ΔT·L·α
- Substitute the values: ΔL = 10·5·7
- Result: ΔL = 350
Answer: Delta_L = 350
