The roof, with a 30° slope, was covered with metal sheets. It was discovered that these sheets were gradually moving downwards. Explain this phenomenon and calculate the displacement of a sheet 1 m long in 1000 days, if the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is 28•106°C-1, the average difference between day and night temperatures is 11°C. How to achieve independent lifting of a sheet up the roof?
