The temperature on Pluto is about 40 K. The coefficient of linear expansion of ice at 0 degrees C is 51 x 10^-6 per degree C. How much taller would Pluto\'s mountains be on Earth, at 0 degrees C

Solution

If the pluto mountains get heated once they are shifted to earth then, the rise in temperature = 275-40 K = 235

so, the % change in the lenght of mountains = 235*51*10^-6*100 = 1.19% taller than the mountains on the pluto
