Answer to Problem 1PLA

The three factors which depends on the change in length caused by temperature are the original length, change in temperature and the linear thermal coefficient of expansion..

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for change in length due to change in temperature

    ΔL=L0αΔT

Here, ΔL is the change in length, L0 is the original length, α is the linear thermal coefficient of expansion and ΔT is the change in temperature.

From the above expression, the change in length depends on original length, change in temperature and the linear thermal coefficient of expansion.

Conclusion:

Thus, the three factors which depends on the change in length caused by temperature are the original length, change in temperature and the linear thermal coefficient of expansion..

Aliens from the planet Jeenkah have based their temperature scale on the freezing and boiling temperatures of ethyl alcohol. These temperatures (in degrees Celsius) are 114C and 78C, respectively. The Aliens choose J as their temperature unit, and decided to allocate 144J to the temperature difference between the freezing and boiling points of ethyl alcohol and to let 0J be the freezing point of ethyl alcohol. A healthy person has an oral temperature of 37C. What would this temperature be on the planet Jeenkah in J.
