Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 65P
Water’s coefficient of volume expansion in the temperature range from 0°C to about 20°C is given approximately by β = a + bT + cT2, where T is in Celsius and a = −6.43× 10−5°C−1, = 1.70× 10−5°C−2, and c = −2.02 × 10−7°C−3. Show that water has its greatest density at approximately 4.0°C.
