Solve for the given letter from the indicated example of this section.

For the formula in Example 5, solve for β.


Data from Example 5

The volume V (in mm3) of a copper sphere changes with the temperature T (in °C) according to V = V0 + V0 βT,   where V0 is the volume at 0°C. For a given sphere, V0 = 6715mm3 and β = 5.10 ×10−5/°C. Evaluate T for V = 6908mm3. We first solve for T and then substitute the given values.

V = V + VBT V - V = VBT T V

Now substituting, we have

- Vo Vo

V = V + VBT V - V = VBT T V - Vo Vo
