The density of a particular sample of gold is 19.30
The density of gold sample at
Answer to Problem 32SP
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The density of a particular sample of gold is
The coefficient of linear expansion of gold is
Formula used:
Mass of the sample does not change with the temperature, thus it can be written as
Here,
But
And
Therefore,
Practically,
Here,
Write the expression for coefficient of volumetric expansion in terms of coefficient of linear expansion:
Here,
Explanation:
Recall the expression for coefficient of volumetric expansion in terms of coefficient of linear expansion for gold:
Substitute
Recall the expression for linear expansion of gold in terms of density:
Substitute
Solve for
Conclusion:
The density of the gold sample at
