Apiece of aluminum has a volume of 4.89 x 10-3 m3. the coefficient of volume expansion for aluminum is = 69 x 10-6(c°)-1. the temperature of this object is raised from 19.1 to 357 oc. how much work is done by the expanding aluminum if the air pressure is 1.01 x 105 pa?

11.515 Joule

Explanation:

Volume of aluminium = V = 4.89×10⁻³ m³

Coefficient of volume expansion for aluminum = α = 69×10⁻⁶ /°C

Initial temperature = 19.1°C

Final temperature = 357°C

Pressure of air = 1.01×10⁵ Pa

Change in temperature = ΔT= 357-19.1 = 337.9 °C

Change in volume

ΔV = αVΔT

⇒ΔV = 69×10⁻⁶×4.89×10⁻³×337.9

⇒ΔV = 114010.839×10⁻⁹ m³

Work done

W = PΔV

⇒W = 1.01×10⁵×114010.839×10⁻⁹

⇒W = 11.515 J

∴ Work is done by the expanding aluminum is 11.515 Joule
