Question

 

1)   A wire that is 1.50 m long at 25°C is found to increase in length by 1.90 cm when warmed to 420°C.

     Compute its average coefficient of linear expansion for this temperature range.

2) Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch most radiator fluid that may overflow when

    the engine is hot.  A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 20.0-liter capacity when at 12ºC. 

    What volume of the radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and the fluid reach their 92ºC operating

    temperature, given that the coefficient of volume expansion is 4.0 x 10-4/K

 

(write the calculations neatly pls)
