The coefficient of expansion is 13 * 10^-6 m per meter length.per oK
The temperature difference = 42 - - 8 = 50 oC
delta T = (42 + 273) - (-8 + 273) = 50 oK
delta L = L * 13* 10^6 m/oK
oK = 50 oK delta L = 19.5 cm = 19.5 cm [1m / 100 cm] = 0.195m
So we need to find the length and it is computed by:
0.195= L * 13 * 10^-6 * 50 L = 0.195 / (13*10^-6*50) L = 300 m

The volume of a warmed part of the air is reduced and its density increases.
Explanation:
In a convective form of heat transfer, the volume of a warmed part of air is not reduced and its density does not increase.
During convection, heat causes the warm part of the air to expand and its volume increases. When volume increases, density is reduced.
- Convection is a form of heat transfer that involves the actual movement of particles of the medium.
- It usually occurs in fluids i.e gases and liquids.
- In convection, the cold part exerts a buoyant force on the warmer air below and causes it to rise.
- As the warmer part is rising the cooler part replaces it and a convective cell is formed in the process.
