Answer:
1.05×10⁻⁴ m²
Explanation:
ΔA = 2 A₀ α ΔT,
where ΔA is the change in area,
A₀ is the initial area,
α is the linear expansion coefficient,
and ΔT is the change in temperature.
A₀ = π (0.20 m / 2)² = 0.0314 m².
For steel, α = 13×10⁻⁶ /°C.
ΔT = 150°C − 22°C = 128°C.
ΔA = 2 (0.0314 m²) (13×10⁻⁶ /°C) (128°C)
ΔA = 1.05×10⁻⁴ m²
