Answer:
1.454 m
Explanation:
From the question,
L₂ = L₁+α(T₂-T₁).................. Equation 1
Where L₂ = Final Length, L₁ = Initial Length, α = Coefficient of Linear expansion, T₁ = Initial Temperature, T₂ = final Temperature.
Given: L₁ = 1.5 m, α = 23×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹, T₁ = 200 °C, T₂ = -1800 °C
Substitute these values into equation 1
L₂ = 1.5+[23×10⁻⁶ ×( -1800-200)
L₂ = 1.5+(23×10⁻⁶×2000)
L₂ = 1.5+(-0.046)
L₂ = 1.5-0.046
L₂= 1.454 m.
