A construction worker uses a steel tape to measure the length of an aluminum support column. If the measured length is 18.700 m when the temperature is 21.2C, what is the measured length when the temperature rises to 29.4C? Note: Dont neglect the expansion of the tape.
At 25.0 m below the surface of the sea, where the temperature is 5.00C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.00 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface?
Suppose a gas-filled incandescent light bulb is manufactured so that the gas inside the bulb is at atmospheric pressure when the bulb has a temperature of 20.0 . (a) Find the gauge pressure inside such a bulb when it is hot, assuming its average temperature is 60.0 (an approximation) and neglecting any change in volume due to thermal expansion or gas leaks. (b) The actual final pressure for the light bulb will be less than calculated in part (a) because the glass bulb will expand. Is this effect significant?
Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.

An underground gasoline lank can hold 1.00 103 gallons of gasoline at 52.0F. Suppose the tank is being filled on a day when the outdoor temperature (and the temperature of the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 95.0F. When the underground tank registers that it is full, how many gallons have been transferred from the truck, according to a non-temperature-compensated gauge on the truck? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 95.0F to 52.0F upon entering the tank.
