Modern commercial airliners are largely made of aluminum, a light and strong metal. But the fact that aluminum is cheap enough that airplanes can be made out of it is a bit of historical luck. Before the discovery of the Hall-Héroult process in 1886, aluminum was as rare and expensive as gold. What would happen if airplanes had to be made of steel? The fuselage of the Boeing 747, which can carry 400 passengers, is approximately a hollow aluminum cylinder without ends, 70.7 m long, 6.5 m wide, and 2.5 mm thick see sketch at right). The fuselage of an airplane Suppose this fuselage was made of steel (density 7.87 g/cm³) instead of aluminum (density 2.70 g/cm³), and let's say the average passenger has a mass of 79 kg. We'll also assume the engines can't lift any greater mass than they already do. Calculate the number of passengers that the Boeing 747 could carry if its fuselage was made of steel. 0 X S

Scurrilous con artists have been known to represent gold-plated tungsten ingots as pure gold and sell them at prices much below gold value but high above the cost of tungsten. With what accuracy must you be able to measure the mass of such an ingot in and out of water to tell that it is almost pure tungsten rather than pure gold?
When drilling metals, excess heat is avoided by staying below a recommended linear cutting speed. A 3.0-mm-diameter hole and a 25-mm-diameter hole need to be drilled. At what maximum number of revolutions per minute can the drill bit rotate so that a point on its perimeter does not exceed the material’s linear cutting speed limit of 3.0 m/s?
What is the physical significance of the Biot number? Is the Biot number more likely to be larger for highly conducting solids or poorly conducting ones?
Repeat the preceding problem with 2.00 kg of ice instead of 1.00 kg.
Superman leaps in front of Lois Lane to save her from a volley of bullets. In a 1-minute interval, an automatic weapon fires 150 bullets, each of mass 8.0 g, at 400 m/s. The bullets strike his mighty chest, which has an area of 0.75 m2. Find the average force exerted on Superman’s chest if the bullets bounce back after an elastic, head-on collision.
What is the reason why Ice with salt melts faster than Ice only?
Superman leaps in front of Lois Lane to save her from a volley of bullets. In a 1-minute interval, an automatic weapon fires 150 bullets, each of mass 8.0 g, at 4.00 x 102 m/s. The bullets strike his mighty chest, which has an area of 0.75 m2. Find the average force exerted on Superman’s chest if the bullets bounce back after an elastic, head-on collision.

Physics A bottle of mass mb = 0.1 kg and volume V = 0.1 m3 is attached to the bottom of a vertical thin rod of length ` = 1 m and mass mr = 2 kg, that is hinged at the top end. The bottle is full of hydrogen (mH = 1.67 × 10−27 kg) and is at atmospheric pressure and temperature T0 = 20 0C. (e) To what height will the rod/bottle system swing up to? (Hint: Don’t forget about the center of mass of the rod.) Angular velocity is 30 rad/sec
A 250-m-long bridge is improperly designed so that it cannot expand with temperature. It is made of concrete with = 12 106 (C)1. (a) Assuming the maximum change in temperature at the site is expected to be 20C, find the change in length the span would undergo if it were free to expand. (b) Show that the stress on an object with Youngs modulus Y when raised by T with its ends Firmly fixed is given by a Y T. (c) If the maximum stress the bridge can withstand without crumbling is 2.0 107 Pa, will it crumble because of this temperature increase? Youngs modulus for concrete is about 2.0 1010 Pa.
A 10-cm-diameter cylindrical shaft rotates inside a 40-cm-long 10.3-cm diameter bearing. The space between the shaft and the bearing is completely filled with oil whose viscosity at anticipated operating temperature is 0.300 N?s/m2. Determine the power required to overcome friction when the shaft rotates at a speed of (a) 600 rpm and (b) 1200 rpm.
The rigid bar of negligible weight is supported as shown in the figure. If W=80 kN, compute the temperature change of the assembly that will cause a tensile stress of 50 MPa in the steel rod. Use the following data:
