Initial Length Formulas
\( l_i = l_f \;/\; \overrightarrow{\alpha_l} \; \left( T_f - T_i \right) + 1 \) (Linear Thermal Expansion Coefficient) \( l_i = \Delta l \;/\; \epsilon \) (Strain)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( l_i \) = Initial Length	\(ft\)	\(m\)
\( l_f \) = Final Length	\(ft\)	\(m\)
\( \Delta l \) = Length Differential	\(ft\)	\(m\)
\( \overrightarrow{\alpha_l} \) (Greek symbol alpha) = Linear Thermal Expansion Coefficient	\(1\;/\;F\)	\(1\;/\;C\)
\( \epsilon \) (Greek symbol epsilon) = Strain	\(in\;/\;in\)	\(mm\;/\;mm\)
\( T_f \) = Final Temperature	\(F\)	\(C\)
\( T_i \) = Initial Temperature	\(F\)	\(C\)
