Thermal Expansion of Solids, Liquids and Gases
 

Thermal Expansion of Solids, Liquids and Gases problem 7


At a temperature of 5 °C, we have 4.97 litres of oil in a 5.00-litre container. When the ambient temperature is slowly increased to 85 °C, the volume of the container increases by 0.02 litre, and 2 % of oil is spilled over the edge of the containe. What is the cubic expansivity of the container and oil?
