- P3. After a particularly cold night, Alice leaves a tub of water outside. You may consider the ground and air to have temperatures of T. = -10°C and T = 10°C respectively. How thick is the layer of ice that forms at the bottom of the tub of water, after the tub has been left outside for a long time? The tub of water initially has a layer of water of thickness họ = 10 cm. You may assume that the ground and air remain at a constant temperature throughout, and that the side lengths of the tub a, b > ho, i.e. the heat conduction is one- dimensional. Density of ice and water are Pice = 920 kg/m³ and Pw = 1000 kg/m³. Ice and water have thermal conductivities of kice = 2.22 WK-1m-1 and kiw = 0.556 W K-1m-1.arrow_forward5.

- 4. Ideal Gas Type Question: A piston comprises two nested cylinders which are 3 cm and 2.8 cm in diameter with 0.1 cm thick walls and are each 1 m long. Initially, the smaller cylinder sits completely inside the larger cylinder and is filled with N2 at 20 °C and atmospheric pressure. a. C. The gas is slowly heated, while the cylinder is allowed to freely expand. What kind of process is this? banc b. The smaller cylinder has a total mass of 1.5 kg. What temperature does the gas need to be for the cylinder to become fully extended? The cylinder can withstand an internal pressure of 20 atm. What's the maximum weight it can lift? e. d. A 100 kg weight is dropped on the cylinder while it is fully extended, causing it to rapidly compress. What kind of process is this?
