Post by: ppk on Mar 14, 2012
The Concorde's exterior is made of aluminum, which has a coefficient of linear expansion of 24 × 10-6 K-1. At 15°C, the Concorde measures 62.1 m in length. When the plane is in flight, friction with the air increases the temperature of the exterior skin to 200°C. What is the change in the length of the outer skin of the Concorde?
A) 20 cm
B) 24 cm
C) 28 cm
D) 32 cm
E) 36 cm
