Question

Transcribed Image Text:Volumetric expansion coefficients of simple materials are often well cataloged. However, the thermal expansion coefficient
B of a human body is less well known. This could affect the human body's specific gravity and, therefore, measurements of
its body-fat ratio.
Suppose that a human body of weight wo on dry land is placed on a scale while completely immersed in formaldehyde of
temperature T1- Once the temperature increases by AT, the scale reading drops by Aw.
Derive an expression for ß in terms of AT, wo, and Aw by assuming that the ratio of the density of formaldehyde ef and the
initial density of the body Po is R = Pf/pb. Assume also that pf does not change when heated.
B =
%3D
If the body weighs 237.2 lb on dry land and his weight reading lowers by 0.237 lb when the formaldehyde is heated from
63.40 °F to 82.80 °F, calculate the coefficient of volume expansion of the body.* Assume R = 0.820.
