I. INTRODUCTION
Science is very important in life. Especially in thermodynamics, the branch of
physics which concerned with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and
work. One of the subjects discussed related to the heat is expansion. Expansion is the
change of an object that can be increased in length, width, area, or a change in volume
as exposed to heat (heat). The expansion occurs when particle substances are heated
(receiving heat), the particle substances vibrate faster that repel each other and expand
objects. Conversely, when the substance is cooled (remove heat) particles of matter
vibrate weaker so objects closer together and shrink. This expansion can occur in all
forms of substance either solid, liquid, or gas. In solids, expansion is divided into 3
types, which are length expansion, area expansion, and volume expansion.
1. The Purpose of Project
The purposes of the expansion solid matter project are:
to explain the effect of temperature changes on the solid material (metal)
to measure the length expansion coefficient material (metal)
2. The Benefits of Project
This project is done to fulfill the task subjects of thermodynamics. In hope of
providing benefits that can apply the concept of expansion of the objects in our daily
lives after doing this project.
II. MAIN CONTENT
1. Concept and Theory
Based on the type of expansion there are three types:
a. Length Expansion
Length expansion is increasing the length of an object as it receives heat. In the
length expansion, width and thickness values are very small compared with the
value of the length of the object. So, the width and thickness are considered
( = 3 )
2. Project Tools and Materials
To do this project, we need:
a. Musschenbroek or the expansion of solids simple
b. A power source
c. Temperature
3. Project Steps
The steps to do this project are:
a. Prepare the tools that is required , make sure the condition is in good
condition .
b. Connect the expansion of solids simple Musschenbroek to a power
source , the previous record initial temperature of the each metal
before connecting .
c. Note the extension of the expansion results in a temperature increase
of 10 C for 5 times on each metal ,
4. Project Method
The method carried out in this project is by conducting empirical observations
and calculating the data according to the theory that compared with the
literature.
