## Thermal Expansion

Most materials expand when heated. Linear thermal expansion predicts the change in length.

### Formula

**DeltaL = alpha * L_0 * DeltaT**

where alpha is the coefficient of linear expansion, L_0 is the original length, and DeltaT is the temperature change.

हल किया गया उदाहरण

A 10 m steel beam (alpha = 12e-6 /°C) heated by 40°C.

  1. DeltaL = alpha * L0 * DeltaT
  2. DeltaL = 12e-6 * 10 * 40
  3. DeltaL = 0.0048 m = 4.8 mm
