In 2012, a new fiber-optic cable of handling 40,000 telephone calls simultaneously was laid under the Pacific Ocean from California to Japan, a distance of 13,300 km. The cable was unreeled from shipboard at a mean temperature of 22oC and dropped to the Ocean floor having a mean temperature of 5oC. The coefficient of linear expansion of the cable is 75×10-6 /degree celsius. Determine the length of cable that must be carried on the ship to span the 13,300 Km. Also, find the percent change in length
