The Eiffel Tower in Paris is 300 meters tall on a cold day when temperature is -12°C. What is its height on a hot day when the temperature is 30°C? It is made of iron which has a coefficient of linear expansion equal 12x10^-6 per °C?
A pair of eyeglass frames is made of epoxy plastic. At room temperature (20.0°C), the frames have circular lens holes 2.20 cm in radius. To what temperature must the frames be heated if lenses 2.21 cm in radius are to be inserted in them? The average coefficient of linear expansion for epoxy is 1.30 × 10-4 (°C)-1.
The density of gasoline is 730 kg/m3 at 0°C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 × 10-4 (°C)-1. Assume 1.00 gal of gasoline occupies 0.003 80 m3. How many extra kilograms of gasoline would you receive if you bought 10.0 gal of gasoline at 0°C rather than at 20.0°C from a pump that is not temperature compensated?
