Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

coefficient of linear expansion of metal is
0.0004415 per kelvin

When expansion or contraction occurs in linear direction then it called linear expansion . It indicates rate of change of length of metal with respect to temperature in kelvin. The S.I. unit is
^(\circ)C^(-1)\ \text{or}\ K^(-1)

The given value indicates there will be
0.0004415 unit change in length on
1\ K temperature change.
