Leila is building an aluminum-roofed shed in her backyard to store her garden tools. The flat roof will measure 2.0 m X 3.0 m in area during the coldest winter months when the temperature is - 10°C, but temperatures in Leila's neighborhood can reach as high as 38°C in the summer. What is the area of the roof that should stick out from the shed in the summer so that the roof just fits the structure during cold winter nights? (aaluminum = 24 × 10-6°C-1)
The height of the Eiffel tower is 324 m, and let's assume it's made completely of steel, which has a thermal coefficient of 1.20 × 10-5/°C.
How much taller, in meters, does the Eiffel Tower become at the end of a day when the temperature has increased by 10.5°C?
A meter stick is made out of aluminum. The scale is accurate at 40°C. Suppose an intrepid student living in Alaska takes the meter stick outside on a very cold winter day to measure the length of a concrete paving stone with dimensions of 10 inches by 10 inches at 40°C. What length will the student measure, if the outside temperature is −46°C? (Give your answer in cm at −46°C.
Round your answer to at least two decimal places.)
