The figure below shows a swimming pool on a sunny day. If the water absorbs $1.80 \times 10^9$ J of heat from the sun, what is the change in the volume of the water? Assume the density of water is 1000 kg/m³. LHB Photo/Alamy

Step 1
We are given the heat absorbed, $Q = 1.80 \times 10^9$ J, and the density of water, $\rho = 1000$ kg/m$^3$. We need to find the change in volume, $\Delta V$. Show more…

The figure shows a swimming pool on a sunny day. If the water absorbs $2.00 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{J}$ of heat from the sun, what is the change in volume of the water?

1. In a swimming pool on a sunny day, water absorbs 2 x109 J of heat from the sun. What is the change in the volume of water? Hint: consider the specific heat and mass density of water.

The figure below shows a swimming pool on a sunny day. If the volume of the water changed by 9.89 x 10^-2 m^3, how much heat does the water absorb from the sun? The specific heat capacity of water, coefficient of volume expansion, and density of water are c = 4186 J/(kg·°C), 207 x 10^-6 (°C)^-1, and 1.000 x 10^3 kg/m^3.
