ASSIGNMENT FOR MODULE 11
NATSCI 2/2L (Physics for Engineers)
PROBLEM-SOLVING:
Given the following problem-solving questions below, compute for the required values using
your coupon bond and then link it to the PhilCST LMS. Please write legibly.
1. Compute the increase in the length of 50 m copper wire when its temperature changes
from 12OC to 32OC. For copper, = 1.7 x 10-5 OC -1 . Answer: L = 1.7 cm.
2. Calculate the increase in volume of 10 cm3 of mercury when its temperature changes
from 10OC to 35OC. The volume coefficient of expansion of mercury is 0.00018 OC -1 .
Answer: Volume = 0.45 cm
