A 50mm thick steel slip gauge is calibrated at 20°C , If it is being used in a hot workshop at 25°C what will the measurement error be? The coefficient of linear expansion for high carbon steel is 12x10^-6K^-1.

    I'm using the following definition of the alpha coefficient (from Wiki)
    \alpha = \frac{\Delta L}{L}\frac{1}{\Delta T}
    where alpha = 12 * 10^(-6) 1/K,
    Delta T = 25 - 20 = 5 K
    Delta L is the change of this gauge lenght L = 50 mm.

    The proportion Delta L / L is itself a relative measurement error.
    \frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\cdot\Delta T = 12\cdot 10^{-6}\cdot 5 = 0.00006
    An absolute error is the relative one times L:
    Absolute error delta L = 0.00006 * 50 = 0.003 mm.

Steels with only small amounts of other metals are called carbon steels. These steels are far stronger than pure iron, with properties varying with the composition. Alloy steels contain greater amounts of other metals. Low-alloy steels have less than 5 of the alloying material high-alloy steels have more. Low-alloy steels containing up to 5 silicon with relatively little carbon have a high...

Using Articles What is an article? Basically, an article is an adjective. Like adjectives, articles modify nouns. English has two articles: the and a/an. The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a/an is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns. We call the the definite article and a/an the indefinite article. the = definite article a/an = indefinite article For example,...

To look back, that was the opportunity I had been waiting for - a chance to spread my wings and enjoy new experiences. I actually found out about American Studies purely by accident.

So I came here, met the lecturers, they seemed to be far...
