Question

un tanque de gasolina de 40 litros fue llenado por la noche, cuando la temperatura era de 68 grados farenheit. Al dia siguiente el sol habia elevado la temperatura habia elevado los 131 fareinheit ¿cuanta gasolina derramo el tanque?

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of gasoline that expands and spills out is 1.33 ltr

Explanation:

As we know that when temperature of the liquid is increased then its volume will expand and it is given as

$\Delta V = V_o\gamma \Delta T$

here we know that

$V_o = 40 Ltr$

volume expansion coefficient of the gasoline is given as

$\gamma = 950 × 10^{–6}$

change in temperature is given as

$\Delta T = (131 - 68) \times \frac{5}{9}$

$\Delta T = 35 ^oC$

Now we have

$\Delta V = 40(950 \times 10^{-6})(35)$

$\Delta V = 1.33 Ltr$
