The bridges often have expansion joints to account for the changes in size due to temperature changes. suppose a bridge is supported by steel girders; the central span has a girder that is 32 m long. if the girder warms from 0∘c to 32 ∘c, by how much does its length increase?

1.33 cm

Explanation:

L = 32 m, T 1 = 0 degree C , T2 = 32 degree C

Thermal expansion coefficient of steel, α = 13 x 106-6 per degree C

Let ΔL be the increase in length.

ΔL = L x α x ΔT

ΔL = 32 x 13 x 10^-6 (32 - 0)

ΔL = 0.0133 m = 1.33 cm

terd muffin is the correct answer

r = ρ x length / area  

ρ = r x area / length  

ρ is in ohm-meters  

in basic units, it is m³kg/s³a²  

i think this is it.
