To ensure a tight fit, the aluminum rivet used in airplane construction are made slightly larger than the rivet holes and cooled by dry ice (solid CO2) before being driven. If the diameter of a hole is 0.500 cm, what should be the diameter of a rive at 20 degree Celsius if its diameter is equal that of a hole when the rivet is cooled to -78 degree Celsius, the temperature of dry ice? Assume the coefficient of expansion to remain constant. (Given and solutions)
