The coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 11 × 10–6 per °C. A steel ball has a volume of exactly 235 cm3 at 16°C. When heated to 160°C, though, its volume becomes ____ cm3. Round your answer to the nearest two decimal places.
V = Vo**(Tf - Ti)
where Vo = initial volume
= coefficient of volume expansion = 3 = 3*coefficient of linear expansion
(Tf - Ti) = chnage in temperature
V = 235*3*11*10^-6*(160 -16)
= 1.1167 cm3
the volume become = 235 + 1.1167 = 236.12 cm3
