B- A surveyor uses a steel measuring tape that is exactly 15.000 m long at a temperature of 30°C. The markings on the tape are calibrated for this temperature. (a) What is the length of the tape when the temperature is 35°C? (b) When it is 45°C, the surveyor uses the tape to measure a distance. The value that she reads off the tape is 40.794 m. What is the actual distance?

At 25.0 m below the surface of the sea, where the temperature is 5.00C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.00 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface?
The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.
The surface area of an unclothed person is 1.50 m2, and his skin temperature is 33.0C. The person is located in a dark room with a temperature of 20.0C, and the emissivity of the skin is e = 0.95. (a) At what rate is energy radiated by the body? (b) What is the significance of the sign of your answer?
(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a double-paned window that has a 150-m2 area and is made of two panes of 0.800 cm-thick glass separated by a 1.00 cm air gap. The inside surface temperature is 15.0 C, while that on the outside is 10.0 OC. (Hint: There are identical temperature drops across the two glass panes. First find these and then the temperature drop across the air gap. This problem ignores the increased heat transfer in the air gap due to convection.) (b) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a 1.60-cm-thick window of the same area and with the same temperatures. Compare your answer with that for part (a).
Two concrete spans that form a bridge of length L are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P16.63a). If a temperature increase of T occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Fig. P16.63b)?
Consider two cylindrical metal rods withequal cross section—one lead, the other aluminum—connected inseries. The temperature at the lead end of the rods is 22.5 °C; thetemperature at the aluminum end is 85.0 °C.

One end of an aluminum rod (50 cm long) is maintained at 1000C by immersing in a pot of boiling water and the other end at 00C by an ice-water mixture.
