A steel beam being used in the construction of a skyscraper has
a length of 38.000 m when delivered on a cold day at a temperature
of 16.000°F. What is the length of the beam when it is being
installed later on a warm day when the temperature is 91.000°F?
(Give your answer to at least five significant figures.)
First we need to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
dT = (5/9) x (91 - 16) = 41.67 C
Length, L = Lo (1 + a dT)
L = 38 x (1 + (1.1 x 10^-5) x 41.67) = 38.017 m
Comment in case any doubt please rate my answer....

A long steel I-beam used in bridge construction has a length of 16.0 m. The beam may be exposed to temperatures as low as −16°C in the winter and as high as 32°C in the summer. What is the difference in length of the beam between these two temperature extremes? (Give the absolute value of the difference. Enter your answer in mm.) mm
Steel Beam A beam used in construction is made of steel, which has a coefficient of linear expansion of 1.3 x 105 K1. The beam is 30 m long at a temperature of 1635 K when it is made. As it cools, the temperature of the beam decreases to 300 K 1) What is the change in the length of the beam due to cooling? m Submit 2) If the mass of the steel beam is 390 kg and the...
A crane at a construction site is used to lift and move steel
beams and place them on the building under construction as needed.
The motion of the beam is measured tension in the cable and the
time intervals the tension is applied.
For example, consider the following situation:
The beam is initially suspended, stationary, above the ground.
The tension in the cable is T0 = 2580 N.
Next, the tension in the cable is T1 = 2660 N for...
A 110-kg steel support rod in a building has a length of 2.0 m at a temperature of 20°C. The rod supports a hanging load of 5,000 kg. (a) Find the work done on the rod as the temperature increases to 37°C. (Assume the average coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 11 x 10-6 (°C) -7.) (b) Find the energy Q added to the rod (assume the specific heat of steel is the same as that for iron, 448...
Consider a rigid steel beam of length L = 13.5 m and mass mb =
398 kg resting on two supports, one at each end. A worker of mass
mw = 78 kg sits on the beam at a distance x from support A. Refer
to the figure.
1) When the worker sits at a distance x = 1.5
m from support A, calculate the force, in newtons, that support B
must exert on the beam in order for it...
A A steel wire is used to lift heavy object. The cable has a diameter of (5.25 + A) mm and an initial length of (24.5 + B) m. If the cable stretches 2.50 mm, what is the mass of the heavy object? Use 20.0 x 1010 Pa for Young’s modulus for steel. Give your answer in kg and with 3 significant figures. A= 0 b= 1
An overhanging steel beam is used to carry a uniformly distributed load over a 2-metre length as shown. The yield stress of steel is ơyield-350 MPa.
