Evaluate ΔT/Δd on the following intervals

a) 50≤d≤175 ΔT/Δd =


b) 100≤d≤250 ΔT/Δd =


c) 75≤d≤125 ΔT/Δd =


Relax

Respuesta :

a ) ΔT / Δd = ( 5.75 - 5.20 ) / ( 185 - 50 ) =
= 0.55 / 125 = 0.0044  °C/m
b ) ΔT / Δd = ( 6.50 - 5.10 ) / ( 250 - 100 ) =
= 1.40 / 150 = 0.0093 °C / m
c ) ΔT / Δd = ( 5.30 - 5.10 ) / ( 125 - 75 ) =
= 0.20 / 50 = 0.0040 °C / m
