A copper rod and an aluminum rod of equal diameter are joined end to end in good thermal contact. The temperature of the free end of the copper rod is held constant at 100°C, and that of the far end of the aluminum rod is held at 0°C. If the copper rod is 0.50 m long, what must be the length of the aluminum rod so that the temperature at the junction is 50°C?

The temperature of the free end of the copper rod is held constant at 100°C, and that of the far end of the aluminum rod is held at 0°C. If the copper rod is 0.42 m long, what must be the length of the aluminum rod so that the temperature at the junction is 50°C?
A cylindrical glass flask with a diameter of 8 cm and the height of 20 cm is fully filled with water at 20°C. When the temperature of the water (and consequently the inner surface of the flask) is raised to 100° C, determine the volume of the water that overflows? HINT 1: Don't forget to calculate the initial volume of the water and flask HINT 2: The volume expansion coefficient for ordinary glass and water can be found in the table of Week 4 (Slide #20). HINT 3: Calculate the volume expansions for both water and the flask HINT 4: The difference between the final volume of water and the final volume of the flask is the amount of overflow.

A highway is made of concrete slabs that are 16.2 m long at 20.0°C. Expansion coefficient of concrete is α = 12.0 × 10−6 K−1. If the temperature range at the location of the highway is from −20.0°C to +36.9°C, how large are the gaps at −20.0°C? in mm
You happen to come across a piece of metal that has a density of p 8.12 g/cm3 when the temperature is To = 42.5 °C. If the metal is cooled to a temperature of T1 0.00 °C, does the density change? Yes, the density will decrease since the volume changes. Yes, since the metal contracts and the mass is constant, the density will increase. No, because as the volume changes so does the mass. No, density does not depend on temperature. Calculate the density of the piece of metal at this temperature, P1. The coefficient of volume expansion for this piece of metal is B = 7.62 x 10-5 1/°C. -0.0263 Pi = g/cm3 Incorrect
0.52 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 3.00 liter (3.00 × 10-3 m3) container at 20.0°C. The gas then undergoes an isobaric process to a temperature of 260°C. What is the final volume of the gas, in liters? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
A steel rod and a bronze rod are heated. At zero degree Celsius, the steel rod has a Ls and the bronze rod has a length of Lb. When the rods are heated or cooled, the difference between their length stays constant at 5.00 cm. Determine the values of Ls and Lb.
A copper rod and an aluminum rod of equal diameter are joined end to end in good thermal contact. The temperature of the free end of the copper rod is held constant at 100°C, and that of the far end of the aluminum rod is held at 0°C. If the copper rod is 0.96 m long, what must be the length of the aluminum rod so that the temperature at the junction is 50°C?

Suppose you have two meter sticks, one made of steel and one made of invar (an alloy of iron and nickel), which are the same length (1.00 m) at 0°C. The coefficients of volume expansion for steel and invar are 3.6 × 10-5 /°C and 2.7 × 10-6 /°C respectively. apparently, you need to use the volume expansion formula below & have B=3a. have no idea how to turn the length into a volume for this problem. have no idea what value alpha is...
Before leaving on a trip to Melbourne Beach, Florida, you measure the pressure inside the tires of your car at a gas station. At – 7.5 C (chilly!), the tire pressure is 206.5 kPa. When you arrive in Florida, you check the tire pressure and find it is now 236.5 kPa. What is the temperature in Melbourne Beach?
