The Eiffel Tower in Paris is 300 meters tall on a cold day when temperature is -16°C. What is the height on a hot day when the temperature is 25°C? It is made of iron which has a coefficient of linear expansion equal 12x10^-6 per °C?

A steel pole is 660 m long on a cold day when the temperature is 32.0 °F.  How much longer (in cm) is the pole on a hot day when the temperature is 103 °F? (The linear expansion coefficient of steel is 12 × 10–6 °C–1)  ΔL =    cm

A pair of eyeglass frames are made of an epoxy plastic (coefficient of linear expansion = 1.30 10-4°C-1). At room temperature (20.0°C), the frames have circular lens holes 2.40 cm in radius. To what temperature must the frames be heated if lenses 2.41 cm in radius are to be inserted into them?

If a 0.85 km (at 0°C ) section of straight railroad track made of steel is assumed to behaveas a single piece, what is the difference in the length of the track between a cold winter day (-12°C)and a hot summer day (+28°C)? The coefficient of linear expansion (a) of steel is 1.2 x 10-5 °C-1[1 km = 1,000 m]

How many degrees celcius does someone need to raise the temperature of a copper rod in order to increase its length by 5%? The linear expansion factor for copper is 17 x 10^-6/degrees celcius.

During an all-night cram session, a student heats up a 0.807 liter (0.807 x 10- 3 m3) glass (Pyrex) beaker of cold coffee. Initially, the temperature is 15.5 °C, and the beaker is filled to the brim. A short time later when the student returns, the temperature has risen to 98.0 °C. The coefficient of volume expansion of coffee is the same as that of water. How much coffee (in cubic meters) has spilled out of the beaker?

A cramming student warms 0.500 L of cold coffee in a Pyrex carafe. Full carafe of coffee at 20°F. How much coffee has spilled when the coffee and carafe reach 95°C? Given that the carafe is an isotropic solid, Pyrex has a linear thermal expansion coefficient of 3.3 x 10-6 K-1 and water (coffee) has 207 x 106 K-1.

During an all-night cram session, a student heats up a 0.304 liter (0.304 x 10- 3 m3) glass (Pyrex) beaker of cold coffee. Initially, the temperature is 18.3 °C, and the beaker is filled to the brim. A short time later when the student returns, the temperature has risen to 96.9 °C. The coefficient of volume expansion of coffee is the same as that of water. How much coffee (in cubic meters) has spilled out of the beaker?
