When its volume increases to V2 = 12x10-3 m3 and the temperature goes up to T2 = 70°C, how much is the pressure in kPa?arrow_forwardA 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 0.32 m long, what must be the length of the aluminum rod so that the temperature at the junction is 50°C? marrow_forward
- S. At a temperature of 22.20°C the hole in a steel plate has a diameter of 1.030 cm. If a steel rod with a diameter of 1.038 cm has to just slip through this hole, to what temperature should the plate be heated? The coefficient of area expansion of steel is 24 X 10 -6/ °C. Ans: 672arrow_forwardown write-up. Problem 1: At 20°C, a rod is exactly 20.05 cm long on a steel ruler. Both are placed in an oven at 270°C, where the rod now measures 20.11 cm on the same ruler. What is the coefficient of linear expansion for the material of which the rod is made? The coefficient of expansion for steel is as = 11 × 10-6/°C.arrow_forwardA student walking to class on a cold day (To = -5 °C) find a silver ring with an inner diameter of D = 1.7 cm. The silver has a coefficient of linear expansion of α = 18.8 × 10-6 1/C. What is the change in diameter, in units of millimeters, if Tb = 37 °C?arrow_forward
