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 Title: Re: The Concorde's exterior is made of aluminum, which has a coefficient of linear e Post by: star on Mar 15, 2012 C
