The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 17 × 10−6 (°C)–1. The Statue of Liberty is 93 m tall on a summer morning when the temperature is 25°C. Assume the copper plates covering the statue are mounted edge to edge without expansion joints and do not buckle or bind on the framework supporting them as the day grows hot. What is the order of magnitude of the statue’s increase in height (maximum temperature of the day is 45°C)?
