Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. We will estimate this effect in this problem, assuming the thermal coefficient of volume expansion is 210 × 10-6/°C for sea water. 1. Calculate the change in length, in meters, of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00°C. Note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. ΔL(in m)=

Problem 21. Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of its sur- roundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling.

(b) Determine the time when the coffee reaches a temperature of 40°C. (Note: Begin the solution by stating your notation).
