Please write the steps you used to find the answer
By how much does the carrier lengthen when it is traveling in the warm Mediterranean Sea at a temperature of 26.0 °C?
The topic is coefficient of linear thermal expansion.
You need the coefficient for steel which comes from
a table. In the future try this one:

The value given is 11-13×10^-6/°C
The solution is straightforward multiplication.
I'll use 12×10^-6 for marine steel.
408m × 12×10^-6/°C×(26°C-3.59°C) = 109.7194 mm (11cm)
It sounds utterly fascinating,and you could even write a book based on that, but what's the question ?
