Value of 1 is 10 ft lb_____ Ok .

Correct answer: c

7. Nett Expansion for 350°F} = Exp. up to 350°F – exp. up to 100°F

= 3.2- 0.34 = 2.86

For 150 feet, Total Expansion = 1.5x2.86=4.29” ≈ 4.3”

Nett expansion for -50°F = ( Exp. up to – 50°F)-(Exp. up to 100°F)

= - 1.24 – 0.34
= - 1.58. Negative sign means it is actually
contraction

For 150 feet, Total Contraction = 1.5x1.58 = 2.37” ≈ 2.4”
