On a hot day in Las Vegas, an oil trucks loaded 37000 L of diesel fuel. He encountered cold weather on the way to New York, where the temperature was 23.0 K lower than in Las Vegas , and where he delivered his entire load. How many liters did he deliver ? The coefficient of volume expansion for diesel fuel is `9.50 xx10^(-4)//""^@C` , and the coefficient of linear expansion for his steel truck is `11xx10^(-6)//""^(@)C`

To solve the problem of how many liters of diesel fuel the truck delivers in New York after experiencing a temperature drop, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem The truck starts with a volume of diesel fuel at a higher temperature in Las Vegas and then travels to New York where the temperature is lower by 23.0 K. We need to calculate the new volume of diesel fuel after it has cooled down. ### Step 2: Identify the Given Data - Initial volume of diesel fuel, \( V_0 = 37000 \, \text{L} \) - Coefficient of volume expansion for diesel fuel, \( \beta = 9.50 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{°C}^{-1} \) ...
