Referring to the copper ring in the previous problem, imaginethat initially the ring is hotter than room temperature, and thatan aluminum rod that is colder than room temperature fits snuglyinside the ring. When this system reaches thermal equilibrium atroom temperature, is the rod firmly wedged in the ring (A) or canit be removed easily (B)?

An astronaut performing an extra-vehicular activity (space walk) shaded from the Sun is wearing a spacesuit that can be approximated as perfectly white ( e=0 ) except for a 5 cm × 8 cm patch in the form of the astronaut's national flag. The patch has emissivity 0.300. The spacesuit under the patch is 0.500 cm thick, with a thermal conductivity k 0.0600 W/m , and its inner surface is at a temperature of 20.0 . What is the temperature of the patch, and what is the rate of heat loss through it? Assume the patch is so thin that its outer surface is at the same temperature as the outer surface of the spacesuit under it. Also assume the temperature of outer space is 0 K. You will get an equation that is very hand to solve in closed form, so can solve it numerically with a graphing calculator, with software, or even by trial and error with a calculator.

To help prevent frost damage, 4.00 kg of water at 0 is sprayed onto a fruit tree. (a) How much heat transfer occurs as the water freezes? (b) How much would the temperature of the 200-kg tree decrease if this amount of heat transferred from the tree? Take the specific heat to be 3.35k J/kg. , and assume that no phase change occurs in the tree.
The goal in this problem is to find the growth of an ice layer as a function of time. Call the thickness of the ice layer L. (a) Derive an equation for dL/dt in terms of L , the temperature T above the ice, and the properties of ice (which can leave in symbolic form instead of substituting the numbers). (b) Solve this differential equation assuming that at t=0 , you have L=0 . If you have studied differential equations, you will know a technique for solving equations of this type: manipulate the equation to get dL/dt multiplied by a (very simple) function of L on one side, and integrate both sides with respect to time. Alternatively, you may be able to use your knowledge of the derivatives of various functions to guess the solution, which has a simple dependence on t. (c) Will the water eventually freeze to the bottom of the flask?
