The equation used for determining the thermal movement, t, of a member is A)6_t= L(Ot). B)6_t = αL(Ot). C)6_t = [L(Ot)]/α. D)6_t = (αL)/(Ot). E)6_t = [α(Ot)]/L.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation given in choice B is the correct formula for determining thermal movement. It includes the variables of coefficient of thermal expansion (α), length of the member (L), and the change in temperature (Ot). The other choices either have incorrect variables or are not the correct formula for thermal movement.
