Question 1230 Deck General
70% to passA cargo of 10,000 barrels of gasoline is loaded at a temperature of 90°F, and a cargo temperature of 55°F, is expected on this voyage. It has a coefficient of expansion of .0006. How many barrels would you expect to discharge at your destination?
A
9790
B
9994
C
10210
D
10410
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 9790 barrels. The reasoning is as follows: 1) The cargo of 10,000 barrels of gasoline has a coefficient of expansion of 0.0006 per degree Fahrenheit. 2) The cargo temperature drops from 90°F to 55°F, a change of 35°F. 3) Using the formula for volume change due to temperature change: V2 = V1 * (1 + coefficient of expansion * temperature change), we get V2 = 10,000 * (1 + 0.0006 * 35) = 9790 barrels. The other options are incorrect because: B) 9994 barrels is too high C) 10210 barrels is too high D) 10410 barrels is too high
