The coefficient of linear expansion, given that the length of the pipe increased by 1.5 cm is 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F

<h3>How to determine the coefficient of linear expansion</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained

The coefficient of linear expansion can be obtained as illustrated below:

α = ∆L / L₁∆T

α = 0.015 / (10 × 90)

α = 0.015 / 900

α = 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F

Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of linear expansion is 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F
