I need to calculate a coefficient of linear expansion given the following
change of length,feet of orginal length, and change of temp of one degree fahrenheit


Sagot :

AL2006

The coefficient of linear expansion is

     (change of length, feet) / (original length, feet) per °F.

Since the numerator and denominator of the fraction have the same
unit, the coefficient turns out to be just a number, with no unit.
