Coefficient of Thermal Expansion given Elongation in Pipes Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thermal Expansion Coefficient = Elongation/(Original Length*Change in Temperature)
α = ∆/(L₀*∆T)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Thermal Expansion Coefficient - (Measured in 1 Per Kelvin) - Thermal Expansion Coefficient is a material property that is indicative of the extent to which a material expands upon heating.
Elongation - (Measured in Meter) - The Elongation refers to the change in length due to subjected load.
Original Length - (Measured in Meter) - The Original Length refers to the material refers to its initial size or dimension before any external forces are applied.
Change in Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - The Change in Temperature refers to the difference between the initial and final temperature.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Elongation: 0.375 Millimeter --> 0.000375 Meter (Check conversion here)
Original Length: 5000 Millimeter --> 5 Meter (Check conversion here)
Change in Temperature: 50 Kelvin --> 50 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula
