Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A copper wire of length 20 m is heated from 30°C to 100°C. The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 16 × 10^-6 °C⁻¹. Calculate the new length of the wire.

💡 Hint: Don't forget to add the change in length to the original length.

Question 2

A 10 m aluminum bar expands by 0.015 m when heated to 200°C. If the original temperature was 25°C, calculate its coefficient of linear expansion.

💡 Hint: Use the expansion formula to isolate and solve for α.
