Suppose you come across old scientific notes that describe a temperature scale called Z on which the boiling point of water is 65.00Z and the freezing point is –140Z. To what temperature on the Fahrenheit scale would a temperature of T= -98.00Z correspond? Assume that the Z scale is linear, that is, the size of a Z degree is the same everywhere on the Z scale.
The outer diameter of a glass jar and the inner diameter of its iron lid are both 760 mm at room temperature (20.0 ∘C).
a)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 57.5 ∘C, without changing the temperature of the glass? Use the coefficient of linear expansion for iron α=1.2×10−5K−1.
