Markings to indicate length are placed on a steel tape in a room that is at a temperature of 22°C. Measurements are then made with the same tape on a day when the temperature is 27°C. Are the measurements too long, too short, or accurate?
A copper pipe in a house that carries hot water is installed at 22 °C at a length of 16 m. The final
temperature of the pipe is 61°C when the hot water is flowing through it. What is the change in length
of the pipe, to three decimal places expressed in m?
A 900 g copper rod at 20 degrees celcius has a length of 1.0000 m. The thermal expansion coefficient of copper is 17 x 10^-6 degrees celcius -1. The specific heat capacity is 0.385 kJ/kg degrees celcius.
Question A: The copper is heated to 400 degrees celcius. What is the new length? Give the answer in meters and with 4 digits of precision after the decimal.
Question B: The hot copper is then quenched by dunking the entire rod in a bucket with 10 kg of water at 20 degrees celcius. The specific heat capaciy of water is 4.18 kJ/kg degrees celcius. If none of the water turns to steam what is the equilibrium temp of the copper rod and water? Please give the answer in degrees celcius
Question C: You measure the equilbrium temp and find that it is 24 degrees celcius. If the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2,260 kJ/kg, what mass of water turned to steam? Answer in grams
