Virginia is a 516-m-long steel arch. How much will its length change between temperature extremes -17 °C and 31 °C

Week 4 #19 A copper bar of thermal conductivity 401 W/(m·K) has one end at 114°C and the other end at 24.0°C. The length of the bar is 0.110 m, and the cross-sectional area is 1.00 × 10−6 m2. If two such bars were placed in parallel (side by side) with the ends in the same temperature baths, what would the rate of heat conduction  ? be? ______W

The frames for a pair of eyeglasses have a radius of 2.14 cm at 20.0°C. Lenses with radius of 2.15 cm have to be inserted into these frames. To what temperature must the technician heat the frames to accommodate the lenses? The frames are made of a material whose thermal expansion coefficient is 1.30  10-4/°C.

Older railroad tracks in the U.S. are made of Part A 12-m-long pieces of steel. When the tracks are laid, gaps are left between the sections to prevent buckling when the steel thermally expands. If a track is laid at 16° C, how large should the gaps be if the track is not to buckle when the temperature is as high as 50° C? The coefficient of linear expansion of soft steel is 1.1 × 10-5 °C-1.
