On a certain dry sunny day, a swimming pool's temperature would rise by 1.10°C if not for evaporation. What fraction of the water must evaporate to carry away precisely enough heat to keep the temperature constant?
Answer _____________________
When the temperature of a coin is raised by 77.1 C°, the coin's diameter increases by 3.14 x 10-5 m. If the original diameter is 1.66 x 10-2 m, find the coefficient of linear expansion.
When the temperature of a coin is raised by 82 °F, the coin's diameter increases by 2.20 x 10-5 m. If the original
diameter is 2.15 x 10-2 m, find the coefficient of linear expansion.
