In the calculation of the centripetal forces in a nickel-based gas-turbine blade, the density of the blade at the operating temperature of 1000°C is needed. However, only the room-temperature density is available. Using the thermal expansion coefficient for nickel, estimate the density of nickel at 1000°C. You can assume that the expansion of the nickel in the turbine blade is isotropic.

What will be an ideal response?
