Question

on a hot day in delhi, a diesel truck was loaded with 1000 litrecof fuel. this truck delivered the fuel to the station in siachen glacier where temperature is 60 dehree C lower than in delhi. what is the volume of diesel delivered there? the coefficient of volume expansion is 9.5 × 10-4 /degree C​

Answer 1

Answer:

943 Liters.

Explanation:

Volumetric expansion formula is given by :

Change in volume = k × initial volume × Change in Temperature.

k = The coefficient of diesel expansion

Change in temperature = - 60 since the temperature in Siachen is lower.

Initial volume = 1000 liters

Change in volume =

1000 × - 60 × 9.5 × 10^-4 = - 57 liters

The volume of Diesel in Siechen is given by :

1000 - 57 = 943 Liters

This is the volume of the diesel hen it reaches Siechen station.
