Answer:

1.708*10^6 tons.

Explanation:

Number of Aluminum cans used by 1 person in 1 year = 365/2=182.5 say it as 183 cans per year.

Total number of people in US= 280,000,000

Total number of cans used by americans.

= 5.12×10^10 cans

Weight of 1 can =1/15 pounds

Weight of all cans used in 1 year

= \frac{5.12*10^10}{15} =3.41*10^9pounds.

we know that

1ton=2000pounds.

\frac{3.41*10^9 pounds}{2000} = 1.708*10^6 tons.

Pepsi [2]
Applicable linear expansion equation:
ΔL = αΔTL
In which
ΔL = change in length, α = Linear expansion coefficient of steel, ΔT = change in temperature, L = original length

Therefore,
ΔL = 12*10^-6*(18.5-(-3))*1410 = 0.36378 m
