A construction worker uses a steel tape to measure the length of an aluminum support column. If the measured length is 18.700 m when the temperature is 21.2C, what is the measured length when the temperature rises to 29.4C? Note: Dont neglect the expansion of the tape.
A firewalker runs across a bed of hot coals without sustaining burns. Calculate the heat transferred by conduction into the sole of one foot of a firewalker given that the bottom of the foot is a 3.00-mm-thick callus with a conductivity at the low end of the range for wood and its density is 300 kg/m3. The area of contact is 25.0 cm2 the temperature of the coals is 700 , and the time in contact is 1.00 s. Ignore the evaporative cooling of sweat.
Suppose a gas-filled incandescent light bulb is manufactured so that the gas inside the bulb is at atmospheric pressure when the bulb has a temperature of 20.0 . (a) Find the gauge pressure inside such a bulb when it is hot, assuming its average temperature is 60.0 (an approximation) and neglecting any change in volume due to thermal expansion or gas leaks. (b) The actual final pressure for the light bulb will be less than calculated in part (a) because the glass bulb will expand. Is this effect significant?

A construction worker uses a steel tape to measure the length of an aluminum support column. If the measured length is 18.700 m when the temperature is 21.2C, what is the measured length when the temperature rises to 29.4C? Note: Dont neglect the expansion of the tape.
Most cars have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0-L capacity when at 10.0 . What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach a temperature of 95.0 , given that the fluid's volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C? (Your answer will be a conservative estimate, as most car radiators have operating temperatures greater than 95.0 ).
