A spherical steel ball bearing has a diameter of 2.540 cm at 26.00°C. (Assume the coefficient of linear expansion of the steel is 1.10 10-5 (°C-1), and the average volume expansion coefficient is 3.30 10-5 (°C-1).) A) What is its diameter when its temperature is raised to 97.0°C? (Give your answer to four significant figures in cm.) B) What temperature change is required to increase its volume by 1.100%?

a) 2.542 cm

b) 30.30 °C

Explanation:

a) Δd = coefficient of linear expansion x original diameter x change in

temperature

= αdΔT

= 1.10 x 10^-5 x 2.54 x (97 - 26)

= 0.00198374 cm

new diameter = 2.540 cm + 0.00198374 cm = 2.54198374 cm = 2.542 cm

b) change in volume = average volume expansion coefficient x original

volume x change in temperature

ΔV = βVΔT

0.0011V = 3.30 x 10^-5 x V x ΔT

ΔT = 30.30 °C
