Question
A brass plate has a circular hole whose diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of an aluminum ball. If
the ball and the plate are always kept at the same temperature,
(a) should the temperature of the system be increased or decreased
in order for the ball to fit through the hole? (b) Choose the best
explanation from among the following:
I. The aluminum ball changes its diameter more with temperature than the brass plate, and therefore the temperature
should be decreased.
II. Changing the temperature won’t change the fact that the ball
is larger than the hole.
III. Heating the brass plate makes its hole larger, and that will
allow the ball to pass through.

- An electric hot water heater consumes 3.1 kilowatts of electricity and converts it to heat. How long will it take the water heater to heat a 67 gallon tank of water from 10 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius? (1 kilogram of water is 0.37 gallons, 1 Calorie = 4200 J). It may be helpful to refer back to the weekly handout for guidance on this problem. Your final answer should be in minutes (rounded to the nearest 10 minutes).arrow_forwardThe diagram below illustrates a simplified version of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's 25-ft space simulator chamber. Within it, tests are run for deep space probes and their components. In this particular experiment, a sensor assembly with its housing is placed inside. The sensor-housing electronics create heat such that q=3181.0 W exits the assembly's top surface into the chamber. The chamber itself is under vacuum, and its walls are at cryogenic temperatures to simulate conditions in space. Surfaces 1 and 2 are flat. Assume they are flush. The top surface of the chamber, Surface 4, can be approximated as a perfectly insulated, flat ceiling. The exposed surface of the floor, Surface 2, is a black, donut- shaped surface. Additional surface information can be seen below, including various parameters and dimensions. Assume all surfaces are opaque and diffuse, and conditions are at steady-state.

The spaces between the studs are filled with an R-15 insulating foam. What is the heat loss (in BTU) through this wall in four hours if the inside temperature is 72°F and the outside temperature is 32°F? (Assume that the 15% of the wall's area are studs and the remaining 85% is filled with the insulating foam. Assume that the air is moving outside the wall.) r= 0.0805 x hr: OF/BTU R=0.09 x hr ft2.
