To determine

1) 5.0066 m

2A) β = 3*10⁻⁷ / °C

2B) 2500.045 cm²

3A) γ = 8.1*10⁻⁵ / °C

3B) 1618.144 cm³

Explanation:

1) Linear thermal expansion is:

ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

where ΔL is the change in length,

α is the linear thermal expansion coefficient,

L₀ is the original length,

and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Given L₀ = 5 m, ΔT = 110°C, and α = 1.2*10⁻⁵ / °C:

ΔL = (1.2*10⁻⁵ / °C) (5 m) (110°C)

ΔL = 0.0066 m

The length increases by, so the new length is:

L = L₀ + ΔL

L = 5 m + 0.0066 m

L = 5.0066 m

2A) The surface expansion coefficient is:

β = 2α

β = 2 (1.5*10⁻⁷ / °C)

β = 3*10⁻⁷ / °C

2B) The change in area is:

ΔA = β A₀ ΔT

ΔA = (3*10⁻⁷ / °C) (50 cm * 50 cm) (60°C)

ΔA = 0.045 cm²

So the new area is:

A = A + ΔA

A = 2500 cm² + 0.045 cm²

A = 2500.045 cm²

3A) The volumetric expansion coefficient is:

γ = 3α

γ = 3 (2.7*10⁻⁵ / °C)

γ = 8.1*10⁻⁵ / °C

3B) The change in volume is:

ΔV = γ V₀ ΔT

ΔV = (8.1*10⁻⁵ / °C) (1600 cm³) (140°C)

ΔV = 18.144 cm³

So the new area is:

V = V + ΔV

V = 1600 cm³ + 18.144 cm³

V = 1618.144 cm³
