Question
The first real length standard, adopted more than 200 years
ago, was a platinum bar with two very fine marks separated
by what was defined to be exactly one meter. If this standard
bar was to be accurate to within +1.0 µm, how carefully
would the trustees have needed to control the temperature?
The coefficient of linear expansion is 9 × 10-6/C°.
