Question

Constants Part A A tall skyscraper has an official height of Ho- Assume that this height was measured on a cool spring day when the temperature was To. You could use the skyscraper as a sort of giant thermometer on a hot summer day by carefully measuring its height. Suppose you do this and discover that it is h taller than its official height, where h is much, much smaller than Ho What is the expression for the temperature, T, assuming that the building is in thermal equilibriun with the air and that its entire frame is made of steel (asteel)? (your expression will contain aste do not enter a numerical value) Submit X Incorrect: One attempt remaining: Try Again

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

initial height = H0

change in height = h

initial temperature = T0

final temperature = T

for steel

h = H0 * steel * (T0 - T)

rearranging to find T

T = T0 + h/(H0 * steel )

the expression for T is T = T0 + h/(H0 * steel )

Please rate my answer, good luck...
