The coefficient of expansion is 13 * 10^-6 m per meter length.per oK
The temperature difference = 42 - - 8 = 50 oC
delta T = (42 + 273) - (-8 + 273) = 50 oK
delta L = L * 13* 10^6 m/oK
oK = 50 oK delta L = 19.5 cm = 19.5 cm [1m / 100 cm] = 0.195m
So we need to find the length and it is computed by:
0.195= L * 13 * 10^-6 * 50 L = 0.195 / (13*10^-6*50) L = 300 m
