Homework Statement
A copper rod is 40.0cm long at 22.0 Celsius. If the rod is heated to 100.0 Celsius, what is it's increase in length.
Homework Equations
Linear expansion of copper is 16.8*10^-6
The Attempt at a Solution
Change in Length= (length)(change in temp.)(α)
So...
(40.0)(78.0)(16.8*10^-6)
=0.052 cm is the change in length?
Please let me know if/what I did wrong here.
