At 25.0 m below the surface of the sea, where the temperature is 5.00C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.00 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface?
Two concrete spans that form a bridge of length L are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P16.63a). If a temperature increase of T occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Fig. P16.63b)?
A steel bridge, considered as a 1D object, is 800 m long at room temperature (25 ̊C). If the coldest temperature at night is 16 ̊C and the hottest temperature during the day is 34 ̊C. What is the maximum change (∆L) of the bridge? The coefficient of linear expansion of the steel is 11.0 × 10-6 ( ̊C)-1. (I asked twice, but I got different answers, one answered 0.0792, the other answered 0.1584. I want to know which one is the correct answer.)
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 concrete slab (thermal expansion coefficient of 1.20 x 10-5 per degree Celsius ) is laid down with a length of 20.0 m at a temperature of 10.0 deg C. On a hot summer day, the slab reaches a temperature of 35.0 deg C. How much longer is the slab (in m) on the hot day?
At a temperature of 20.20°C the hole in a steel plate has a diameter of 1.045 cm. If a steel rod with a diameter of 1.054 cm has to just slip through this hole, to what temperature should the plate be heated? The coefficient of area expansion of steel is 24 ✕ 10^−6/°C.
A steel rod 30.0 m long, installed when the temperature was 10°C, is in a bridge that heats up to 40oC on a hot summer day. Steel's coefficient of linear expansion is 1.2 × 10-5 K-1. The bridge is built so the rod has an expansion space of 5 cm. Is this enough space? What is the increase in the length of the rod, in mm?

A brass rod is 12 cm long at a temperature of 15°C. The coefficient of linear expansion of brass is 19.0 x 10-8/°C. If the temperature changes to 25°C, then what is the increase in length of the rod in um?
At a temperature of 22.20°C the hole in a steel plate has a diameter of 1.030 cm. If a steel rod with a diameter of 1.038 cm has to just slip through this hole, to what temperature should the plate be heated? The coefficient of area expansion of steel is 24 ✕ 10 −6/ °C.
(a) Suppose a meter stick made of steel and one made of invar are the same length at 0°C. What is their difference in length at 42.5°C? The coefficient of thermal expansion is 12 x 10-6/°C for steel and 0.9 x 10-6/°C for invar. mm (b) Repeat the calculation for two 16.0-m-long surveyor's tapes. mm
A steel bridge, considered as a 1D object, is 800 m long at room temperature (25 ̊C). If the coldest temperature at night is 16 ̊C and the hottest temperature during the day is 34 ̊C. What is the maximum change (∆L) of the bridge? The coefficient of linear expansion of the steel is11.0 × 10-6 ( ̊C)-1. (I have already asked one time. But I wonder if we can only find one delta L of temp Maximum? Because T is the same, we chose one)
