Externet 156 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 L1 = L0(1 + αL(T2 − T1)) The formula to find how long will be a stainless steel rod , alpha=17.3 from initial length 700mm after delta t = 600 C Yields a senseless number. Where am I goofing? Link to post Share on other sites
timo 578 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) You are at least missing a) the units of alpha, b) mentioning what L is (stricly speaking you also didn't mention L0, L1, T1 and T2 but one can guess what they are supposed to be), c) the result you got and called senseless.
