A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 11.5-L capacity when at 11.0°C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0°C operating temperature, given the fluid's volume coefficient of expansion is 400 ✕ 10^−6/°C and that of copper is 51 ✕ 10^−6/°C.

The rule is used to measure the length of a Vycor glass brick: when both are at 20.00°C, the brick is found to be 30.90 cm long. If the rule and the brick are both at 85.00°C, what would be the length of the brick as measured by the rule? Coefficient of linear expansion a for steel is 12.0 x10^-6 K-1 and for glass (Vycor) is 0.750 x 10^-6 K^-1.arrow_forward
