Part A -120.0 cm → brass aluminum 73 cm 46.0 cm A brass rod is 73 cm long and an aluminum rod is 46.0 cm long when both rods are at an initial temperature of 0° C. The rods are placed in line with a gap of 1 cm between them. The distance between the far ends of the rods is maintained at 120.0 cm throughout. The temperature is raised until the two rods are barely in contact. The coefficients of linear expansion of brass and aluminum are 2.0 x 10 K and 2.4 x 105 K1, respectively. In the figurea, the temperature at which contact of the rods barely occurs, in "C, is closest to:

Inside the wall of a house, an L-shaped section of hot-water pipe consists of three parts: a straight horizontal piece h = 28.0 cm long, an elbow, and a straight, vertical piece = 134 cm long (Fig. P10.51). A stud and a second- story floorboard hold the ends of this section of copper pipe stationary. Find the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the pipe elbow when the water flow is turned on, raising the temperature of the pipe from 18.0C to 46.5C. Figure P10.51
The thermal conductivities of human tissues vary greatly. Fat and skin have conductivities of about 0.20 W/m K and 0.020 W/m K, respectively, while other tissues inside the body have conductivities of about 0.50 W/m K. Assume that between the core region of the body and the skin sin face lies a skin layer of 1.0 mm, fat layer of 0.50 cm, and 3.2 cm of other tissues. (a) Find the R-factor for each of these layers, and the equivalent R-factor for all layers taken together, retaining two digits. (b) Find the rate of energy loss when the core temperature is 37C and the exterior temperature is 0C. Assume that both a protective layer of clothing and an insulating layer of unmoving air a absent, and a body area of 2.0 m2.
An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 3(H) K. (a) If one-halt of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool, (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K. what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 YV/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)
The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.
The rectangular plate shown in Figure P16.60 has an area Ai equal to w. If the temperature increases by T, each dimension increases according to Equation 16.4, where is the average coefficient of linear expansion. (a) Show that the increase in area is A = 2Ai T. (b) What approximation does this expression assume?
At 25.0 m below the surface of the sea, where the temperature is 5.00C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.00 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface?
It is desired to just able to slip the 16.0 mm diameter glass marble through an aluminum washer. At 68.0 F, the inner diameter of the washer is 15.98 mm. To what temperature in Fahrenheit should the aluminum washer be heated for the marble just able to slip through. The marble remains at 68.0 F. aluminum = 2.3x10-50 C-1; and glass = 2.7x10-50 C-1. [Answer in 3 significant figures]
At 19.0°C an aluminum ring has an inner diameter of 6 cm, and a brass rod has a diameter of 6.090cm. Keeping the brass rod at 19.0°C,to what temperature must the aluminum ring be heated toallow the ring tojust slip over the brass rod? Final answer should be in F.
V 13. At 20.0°C, an aluminum ring has an inner diameter of QIC 5.000 0 cm and a brass rod has a diameter of 5.050 0 cm. (a) If only the ring is warmed, what temperature must it reach so that it will just slip over the rod? (b) What If? If both the ring and the rod are warmed together, what tem- perature must they both reach so that the ring barely slips over the rod? (c) Would this latter process work? Explain. Hint: Consult Table 19.2 in the next chapter.
Suppose you have a ring of a metal with a1 = 2 x 10° (C0)-1. You wish to put it around a pipe made of metal with az = 3 x 10-6 (C)1. If at 25 Co the inner radius of the ring is 10.0 cm and the outer radius of the pipe is 10.001 cm, what is the temperature that will allow you to slip the ring around the pipe?
