Create an equation to convert Fahrenheit degrees into Celsius
degrees. [Hint: Refer to Eq. (15.1).]
Water boils at 212 °F. Use the equation you created in Problem
15.13 to compute the corresponding Celsius temperature.
Aluminum melts at 660 °C. How much is that in kelvins?
Dry ice freezes at a temperature of -109.3 °F. What is that in
Celsius?
Lead melts at 621 °F. What temperature is that in kelvins?
A gold wire 20 m long has its temperature lowered by 25.0 °C.
Assume the linear coefficient of expansion is constant over that
range of temperatures. Calculate the change in length of the wire.
[Hint: Use Table 15-1.]
A Pyrex glass rod 200.0 cm long has its temperature raised from
10.0 °C to 50.0 °C. Will it end up longer or shorter and by how
much? Assume the linear coefficient of expansion is constant over
that range of temperatures. (Hint: Use Table 15-1.]
A stainless steel wire is 150 cm long at 20.0 °C. An electric
current is passed along it, and it expands to 151.2 cm. What is its
new temperature? [Hint: Use Table 15-1.]
Compute the increase in length of 50 m of copper wire when its
temperature changes from 12 °C to 32 °C. For copper, a= 1.7 x
to$ °c,
A rod 3.0 m long is found to have expanded 0,091 cm in length
after a temperature rise of 60 °C. What is a for the material of the
rod?
At 15.0 °C, a bare wheel has a diameter of 30.000 cm, and theinside diameter of its steel rim is 29.930 cm. To what temperature
must the rim be heated so as to slip over the wheel? For this type
of steel, a= 1.10 x 105°C).
15,24 [I] An ordinary glass sphere has a volume of 2000 cm at a
temperature of 0.00 °C. Determine its approximate volume change
when raised to 100 °C. [Hint: Use Table 15-2. Be careful
converting from cm to m?.]
15.25 [1H] An iron ball has a diameter of 6 cm and is 0.010 mm too large to
pass through a hole in a brass plate when the ball and plate are at
a temperature of 30 °C. At what temperature (the same for ball
and plate) will the ball just pass through the hole? a= 1.2 x 10°
°C and 1.9 x 10° °C" for iron and brass, respectively.
15.26 1m| (@) An aluminum measuring rod, which is correct at 5.0 °C,
4 | measures a certain distance as 88.42 cm at 35.0 °C. Determine
the error in measuring the distance due to the expansion of the
rod, (b) If this aluminum rod measures a length of steel as 88.42
cm at 35.0 °C, what is the correct length of the steel at 35 °C?
The coefficient of linear expansion of that sample of aluminum is
22 x 10° °C,
