The bridges often have expansion joints to account for the changes in size due to temperature changes. suppose a bridge is supported by steel girders; the central span has a girder that is 32 m long. if the girder warms from 0∘c to 32 ∘c, by how much does its length increase?

1.33 cm

Explanation:

L = 32 m, T 1 = 0 degree C , T2 = 32 degree C

Thermal expansion coefficient of steel, α = 13 x 106-6 per degree C

Let ΔL be the increase in length.

ΔL = L x α x ΔT

ΔL = 32 x 13 x 10^-6 (32 - 0)

ΔL = 0.0133 m = 1.33 cm

first thing first of the answer is with technology. second thing second thing is that the big bang theory did not happened u see they say it did but what they dont realize is that like dinasures are still a round they might deny it but they and look at these 12 foot human skelteons they find lets see didnt the bible say something about giants. hope this peace.
