Problem

The density of aluminium is 2.70 g cm−32.70\,\text{g\,cm}^{-3} at 15 °C. If its coefficient of volume expansion is 7.5×10−5 K−17.5\times10^{-5}\,\text{K}^{-1}, at what temperature will its density reduce to 2.65 g cm−32.65\,\text{g\,cm}^{-3}? Give your answer to the nearest degree Celsius.
