Grow larger because as the metal expands it will stay in proportion.

Without looking it up, I would have to say that it would stay the same. When heating up an iron doughnut, it would cause the iron to expand out in all sides. Expanding outwards would make the outside larger, and inwards making the inside smaller, but it would also expand around, makeing the inside larger. Now, I do not remember my physics very well, so this is just a guess.....

Question 307 - RESOLVED

If it takes a man one hour to dig a hole two metres long, two metres wide, and two metres deep, how long would it take the same man to dig a hole four metres long, four metres wide, and four metres deep, assuming he digs at the same rate of speed?

__________
Eight hours. It takes twice as long to double the length, twice as long to double the width, and twice as long to double the depth. To find cubic measurement you multiply length x width x height; therefore, on the first hole, one hour equals 2m x 2m x 2m = 8 cubic metres. On the second hole, the formula is 4m x 4m x 4m = 64 cubic metres.

I'm guessing eight hours. In one hour he can remove 8 cubic meters of dirt so it would take 8 hours to remove 64 cubic meters.

the answer is Emily Dickinson.
you take the middle two letters of each word and it is part of of her poems. and in the case of the five letter words at the end you take on the middle letter.
