Ensuring a Tight Fit. Aluminum rivets used in airplane construction are made slightly larger than the rivet

Question:

Ensuring a Tight Fit. Aluminum rivets used in airplane construction are made slightly larger than the rivet holes and cooled by “dry ice” (solid CO2) before being driven. If the diameter of a hole is 4.500 mm, what should be the diameter of a rivet at 23.0°C.? if its diameter is to equal that of the hole when the rivet is cooled to -78.0°C, the temperature of dry ice? Assume that the expansion coefficient remains constant at the value given in Table 17.1.
