Chapter 17, Problem 7P
The Eiffel Tower (Fig. 17–19) is built of wrought iron approximately 300m tall. Estimate how much its height changes between January (average temperature of 2°C) and July (average temperature of 25°C). Ignore the angles of the iron beams and treat the tower as a vertical beam.

A sauna has 8.5 m3 of air volume, and the temperature is85°C. The air is perfectly dry. How much water (in kg)should be evaporated if we want to increase the relativehumidity from 0% to 10%? (See Table 13–3.)
(I) The Eiffel Tower (Fig. 13–31) is built of wrought iron
approximately 300 m tall.
Estimate how much its
height changes between
January (average temper-
ature of 2°C) and July
(average temperature of
25°C). Ignore the angles
of the iron beams and
treat the tower as a verti-
cal beam.
IGURE 13–31 Problem 9.
he Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Physics: Temperature
[ A bubble of air is rising up through the ocean. When it is at a depth of 22.0 m below the surface, where the temperature is 5.00°C, its volume is 1.10 cm3. What is the bubble's volume (in cm3) just before it hits the ocean surface, where the temperature is 20.0°C? Assume the average density of sea water is 1,025 kg/m3. ]
May I ask for some help in setting this problem up and what equations I should use, please? I have not been taught fluid dynamics, and that is not being taught in the current chapter, so I am not sure how to relate the depth and density to the gas law parts.
Also, is it correct to assume I'll be using PV = nRT in this problem, and/or some variation of P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2?
