1.The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day
when the temperature is 35.0 °C. What will its height be on a day when the
temperature falls to -10.0 ° C? Although the monument is made of limestone,
assume that its thermal coefficient of expansion is the same as marble's.
2.How much taller does the Eiffel Tower become at the end of a day when the
temperature has increased by 15 ° C? Its original height is 321 m and you can
assume it is made of steel.
3.What is the change in length of a 3.00-cm-long column of mercury if its
temperature changes from 37.0 ° C to 40.0 ° C, assuming the mercury is
unconstrained?
4.How large an expansion gap should be left between steel railroad rails if they
may reach a maximum temperature 35.0 ° C greater than when they were laid?

Thermal conductivity for pure aluminum: kal = 238 W/m⋅K ; Thermal conductivity for glass: kgl = 1.4 W/m⋅K.
A spherical furnace has an inside diameter of 6 ft and an
outside diameter of 8 ft. The furnace shell is made of two
different materials, each 6 inches thick. The inner and outer
