Exercise 40

A pie plate is filled up to the brim with pumpkin pie filling. The pie plate is made of Pyrex and its expansion can be neglected. It is a cylinder with an inside depth of 2.10 cm and an inside diameter of 30.0 cm. It is prepared at a room temperature of 68°F and placed in an oven at 400°F. When it taken out, 151 cc of the pie filling has flowed out and over the rim. Determine the coefficient of volume expansion of the pie filling, assuming it is a fluid.
