Experiment 1: Thermal Linear Expansion Abstract: The thermal linear expansion of copper and aluminum is the focus of this experiment where the two metals have a tendency to expand their length in response to the change of temperature. Each metals have their own coefficient of linear expansion which describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature while the pressure is held constant. We ’re able to determine the theoretical coefficient of linear expansion of the two metals by substituting
