Chapter 12, Problem 35P

(a)

To determine

The suitable experiment to measure the temperature of the freezer of a refrigerator, using an empty plastic bottle with a cap, a bowl of water, and a graduated cylinder. Given are the following options, when the temperature of the room is given as TR:

I. Put the open plastic bottle into the freezer for half an hour. Take the bottle out, turn it upside down into the water, and measure the volume of the water sucked into the bottle.

II. Put the open plastic bottle in the freezer for half an hour. Take the bottle out and close it with the cap. Wait until the shape stops changing. Turn the bottle upside down into the water, open the cap, and measure the volume of the water that entered the bottle.

III. Put the closed plastic bottle in the freezer for half an hour. Take the bottle out, turn it upside down into the water, and then open the cap. Measure the volume of the water sucked into the bottle.

IV. Put the closed plastic bottle in the freezer for half an hour. Take the bottle out, open the cap, and turn the bottle upside down into the water. Measure the volume of the water sucked into the bottle.

(b)

To determine

The expression for the temperature of the freezer, which can be evaluated with the help of the chosen option in the sub-part (a) of the given problem using the physical quantities along with the assumptions made.

a.Plot P vs T graph for the constant V using Excel. Choose the independent variable T along the x-axis and P along the y-axis. Is the graph linear? If so, use a linear fit and write down thebequation of the best-fit straight line. If not, use a power law fit of y = xn. What is the value of n? Based on the fit, are the variables directly or inversely proportional?

Consider the equation a=6πb/q√17 relating the variables a, b and q. If a scientist does an expirment in which b is held constant, q is varied, and a is measured.  A. What specifically about the graph would confirm the relationship? B. What is the theoritical slope of the line on the graph?
An object was left in a room of unknown surrounding temperature. The temperature of the object was summarized below with respect to the time t (in minutes) the object was initially observed. Predict and complete the information, i.e. determine the temperature in Celsius when t = 30 minutes. Put your answer accurate up to four decimal places. No need to put in the units of measurement. When t = 0, the temperature of the object is 30 degrees Celsius. When t = 10 minutes, the temperature of the object is 32 degrees Celsius. When t = 20 minutes, the temperature of the object is 33.6 degrees Celsius. When t = 30 minutes, the temperature of the object is unknown. Assume the system obeys Newton’s Law of Cooling and the surrounding temperature of the room did not change.
