deltaL = a*L*deltaT
where deltaL is the change in length, a s the linear expansion coefficient, L0 is it's initial length, deltaT is the final temperature
deltaL = 10^-5*178*(-35 - 39)
where deltaL is the change in length, a s the linear expansion coefficient, L0 is it's initial length, deltaT is the final temperature
deltaL = 10^-5*178*(-35 - 39)
