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

- At crime scenes, the time of death is often determined by the temperature of the liver. Let H(t) be the temperature of the body, and S be the surrounding temperature. Newton's heating-cooling law states that the rate of change in the temperature, H, is proportional to the difference between the object and the surrounding temperature. If it is 75 degrees outside and a living person is 98.6 degrees, use Newton's cooling law to determine how long a body that has temperature 76 degrees has been left outside if at time t = 12 hours, H(12) = 80. Note that we need two measurements as different masses will cool at different rates.
