Steel Tape Thermal Expansion Simulation
This simulation demonstrates how temperature changes affect the accuracy of measurements made with a steel tape measure. The tape expands when heated, causing measurements to be shorter than the actual length.
Temperature Parameters
Value: 27 °C
Value: 45 °C
Measurement Parameters
Value: 63 cm
Value: 1.2 ×10⁻⁵ K⁻¹
Simulation Results
Actual length at measurement temperature: 63.01 cm
Length at calibration temperature: 63.00 cm
Tape expansion: 0.02 cm/m
