Steel expands 11 parts in a million for each 1 degree Celsius change. Think about the 1. 3 km main span of steel for the Golden Gate Bridge. If the span had no expansion joints, show that the span would be 0.21 m longer for a 15 degree Celsius increase in temperature. (Use the formula: change in L = ("coefficient of expansion")( initial L )( change in T) ).
