Most solid materials expand upon heating and contract when cooled because it undergoes a change in the energy state of its molecules or atoms. According to the atomic perspective, the average vibrational amplitude of an atom increases as the temperature rises. Each material has a property called coefficient of linear expansion that is indicative of the extent to which a material expands upon heating or contracts when cooling. The coefficient of expansion is re very important to all structures and foundation of buildings to avoid the possibility of collapsing. ObjectiveThe objective of this experiment is to calculate the coefficient of linear expansion of a metal. The change in length of several materials such as glass, brass, copper, stainless steel and aluminum will be determined and the corresponding coefficient of linear expansion would be calculated.
