You are looking to purchase a small piece of land in Hong Kong. The price is "only" $60,000 per square meter! The land title says the dimensions are 35 m x 40 m. By how much would the total price change (in dollars) if you measured the parcel with a steel tape measure on a day when the temperature was 19°C above normal? (Include the sign of the value in your answer.) %24

A person taking a reading of the temperature in a freezer in Celsius makes two mistakes: first omitting the negative sign and then thinking the temperature is Fahrenheit. That is, the person reads xC as xF . Oddly enough, the result is the correct Fahrenheit temperature. What is the original Celsius reading? Round your answer to three significant figures.
How much taller does the Eiffel Tower become at the end of a day when the temperature has increased by 15 ? Its original height is 321 m and you can assume it is made of steel.
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.
A surveyor uses a steel measuring tape that is exactly 75000m long at a temperature of 20 degree celcius? What is the length (in m) of the tape when them temperature is 35 degrees celcius? () The answer (in fundamental SI unit) is ___________
A glass window in a house has an area of 0.67 m^2 and a thickness of 2.4 mm. The temperature inside the house is 21 C, and the outside temperature is 0 C. How much heat is lost through the window in 1 hour (3600 s) due to conduction? Use 1.0 W/(m x C) for the thermal conductivity of the glass. How much heat is lsot through the window in 1 hour (3600 s) due to raditaion? ( assume the temperature of the rntire glass is 21 C for this probelem). Which mode of heat transfer (condutciton vs. raditiaon) accounts for the greater amount of heat loss?
The outer diameter of a glass jar and the inner diameter of its iron lid are both 760 mmmm at room temperature (20.0 ∘C). What will be the size of the mismatch between the lid and the jar if the lid is briefly held under hot water until its temperature rises to 62.5 ∘C, without changing the temperature of the glass? Use the coefficient of linear expansion for iron α= 1.2×10^−5 K^−1. Express answer in millimeters.
A coffee, with a temperature of 60 o C, is pour in a glass with diameter of 10 cm and height of 13 cm . The coffee has a continuous heat transfer of 60 W. What is the temperature (in Celsius) of the surface of the glass if convective heat transfer , h, is 50 W/m2-K?
You buy an "airtight" bag of potato chips packaged at sea level, and take the chips on an airplane flight. When you take the potato chips out of your "carry-on" bag, you notice it has noticeably "puffed up." Airplane cabins are typically pressurized at 0.90 atm, and assuming the temperature inside an airplane is about the same as inside a potato chip processing plant, by what percentage has the bag "puffed up" in comparison to when it was packaged? Express your answer using two significant figures. (V2−V1)/V1= ?
A weather balloon is designed to expand to a maximum radius of 15.6 m when in flight at its working altitude, where the air pressure is 0.0282 atm and the temperature is −65∘−65∘C. If the balloon is filled at 0.873 atm and 21∘∘C, what is its radius at lift-off?
For the human body, what is the rate of heat transfer by conduction through the body’s tissue with the following conditions: the tissue thickness is 3.00 cm, the difference in temperature is 2.00 °C , and the skin area is 1.50 m2 .How does this compare with the average heat transfer rate to the body resulting from an energy intake of about 2400 kcal per day? (No exercise is included.)
