Provide the solution to the problem. The answer is provided already. The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0C. What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0C? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its thermal coefficient of expansion is the same as marble's. Answer: 169.98 m
The air temperature above coastal areas is profoundly influenced by the large specific heat of water. One reason is that the energy released when 1 cubic meter of water cools by 1.0°C will raise the temperature of an enormously larger volume of air by 1.0°C. Estimate that volume of air. The specific heat of air is approximately 1.0 kJ/kg ? °C. Take the density of air to be 1.3 kg/m3.
