Alength change 0.08 m will occur for an object that is l= 56 m long. if the coefficient of thermal expansion is5.3 x 10 /c and if the original temperature is 253 c, find the increase in temperature.

Increase in temperature =  269.54 °C

Explanation:

We have equation for thermal expansion

          ΔL = LαΔT

Change in length, ΔL = 0.08 m

Length, L = 56 m

Coefficient of thermal expansion, α = 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻1

Change in temperature, ΔT = T - 253

Substituting

          0.08 = 56 x 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ x (T - 253)

         (T - 253) = 269.54

           T = 522.54 °C

Increase in temperature =  269.54 °C      

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
