Question: A heated pool has a thermometer in it , which sits on the bottom of the pool and has a density of 9 9 4

A heated pool has a thermometer in it, which sits on the bottom of the pool and has a density
of 994 kg/m3. The initial temperature of the pool is 400 C, and the water has a density of 992
kg/m3. What final temperature would you need to cool the pool to such that the thermometer will
float to the top? You can assume that the thermometer does not thermally expand or contract.
The thermal coefficient of volume expansion for water is 210 x 106 K-1.
A.21.20 C
B.22.50 C
C.36.70 C
D.25.50 C
E.30.40 C
