Topic 1 Thermal Expansion
Explain qualitatively why
Topic 2 Temperature Scales
How are the Fahrenheit, Celsius (or Centigrade), and Kelvin temperature scales are related.
Examples
If the coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum is 26 x 10-6, by how much does an aluminum tube of diameter 2.54 cm expand when heated 80o C
If the coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 11 x 10-6, by how much does an railroad track of length 100 km expand when heated 10o C
