Between 0°C and 30°C, the volume V ( in cubic centimeters) of 1 kg of water at a temperature T is given approximately by the formula: V = 999.87 − 0.06426T + 0.0085043T² − 0.0000679T³ Find the temperature at which water has its maximum density.

Answer:

[tex]T \approx 3.967\,^{\textdegree}C[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of water is given by the following definition:

[tex]\rho = \frac{m}{V(T)}[/tex]

[tex]\rho = \frac{1000\,g}{999.870.06426\cdot T + 0.0085043\cdot T^{2}-0.0000679\cdot T^{3}}[/tex]

The density is maximum when volume is minimum, which can be found by First and Second Derivative Tests:

First Derivative

[tex]V' = -0.06426 +0.0170086\cdot T -0.0002037\cdot T^{2}[/tex]

Second Derivative

[tex]V'' = 0.0170086 - 0.0004074\cdot T[/tex]

Critical values from the first derivative are:

[tex]T_{1} \approx 79.531\,^{\textdegree}C[/tex] (absolute maximum) and [tex]T_{2} \approx 3.967\,^{\textdegree}C[/tex] (absolute minimum).

The temperature at which water has its maximum density is:

[tex]T \approx 3.967\,^{\textdegree}C[/tex]
