Question
The Concorde's exterior is made of aluminum, which has a coefficient of linear expansion of 24 × 10-6-K-1. At 15°C, the Concorde measures 62.1 m in length. When the plane is in flight, friction with the air increases the temperature of the exterior skin to 200°C. What is the change in the length of the outer skin of the Concorde?
a. 27.6 cm
b. -13.1 cm
c. -26.2 cm
d. 55.1 cm
