Question

A geodesic dome constructed with an aluminum framework is a nearly perfect hemisphere; its diameter measures 55.0 m on a winter day at a temperature of – 15o C. How much more interior space does the dome have in the summer, when the temperature is 35o C?

Solution

Solution 16E Step 1: Radius of Geodesic dome R = 27.5 m ( D = 55m) On winter day Temperature (when R = 27.5m ) T = 115°C On summer Temperature T = 35°C 2
