13.2 Exercise 7

Avg difficulty 2.5

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0ºC\text{35} . 0 º \text{C}. What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to –10.0ºC– \text{10} . 0 º \text{C}? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its thermal coefficient of expansion is the same as marble’s.
