Answer

a) $d^{\prime}=1.183cm$ b) $T=-48^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the final diameter as follows: $\Delta d=d^{\prime}-d=\alpha d\Delta T$ This can be rearranged as: $d^{\prime}=d+\alpha d\Delta T$ $\implies d^{\prime}=d(1+\alpha \Delta T)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d^{\prime}=1.178[1+(24\times 10^{-6})(199-23)]=1.183cm$ (b) We can find the required temperature as follows: $\Delta T=T-T_{\circ}=\frac{d^{\prime}-d}{\alpha d}$ This can be rearranged as: $T=T_{\circ}+\frac{d^{\prime}-d}{\alpha d}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $T=23+\frac{1.176-1.178}{(24\times 10^{-6})(1.178)}$ $T=-48^{\circ}C$
