    The answer to this question would be: a. 1.2 cm

    In this question, the length of the bridge is 25m, the coefficient of linear expansion is 12 * 10^-6/K and the change of temperature is 40K. Then the calculation of the changes of the length would be:

    25m * 12 * 10^-6/K * 40K = 12,000*10^-6m * 10^2 cm/m = 1.2cm
