When the temperature of a fluid increases, it dilates, and because of the variation of the volume, it's density will vary too. The density can be calculated by the expression:

ρ₁ = ρ₀/(1 + β*(t₁ - t₀))

Where ρ₁ is the final density, ρ₀ the initial density, β is the constant coefficient of volume expansion, t₁ the final temperature, and t₀ the initial temperature.

At t₀ = 4°C, the water desity is ρ₀ = 1,000 kg/m³. The value of the constant for water is β = 0.0002 m³/m³ °C, so, for t₁ = 93°C

ρ₁ = 1,000/(1 + 0.0002*(93 - 4))

ρ₁ = 1,000/(1+ 0.0178)

ρ₁ = 982.5 kg/m³

Why is galvanized steel preferred for outdoor uses?

Marizza181 [45]

<span>Galvanized steel is preferred for outdoor uses because it is ideal to prevent rotting/corrosion A steel will rot more quickly if it's exposed to a larger amount of oxygen and H2O , which will exist if we put it oudoor Coating the steel with additional zinc will slow down the process</span>
