When a metal is heated, its atoms vibrate more about their position in the lattice (a network of crossed bars). This causes them to take up more space, so the solid metal expands from its original shape. Calculate the heat needed to expand a ring made of copper with an internal diameter of 50mm to fit over a shaft of diameter 50.05mm.  The shaft is measured at a temperature 20 degrees c
