Chapter 16, Problem 23RQ
We have made many measurements of coffee cooling in a ceramic coffee cup. We realize that as the coffee cools. It gradually reaches room temperature. Consequently, we report the value of the coffee temperature in degrees above room temperature (so after a long time, the temperature rise will be equal to 0). Also, we realize that the hotter the coffee is initially (above room temperature), the longer it will take to cool. The values presented here are in degrees Fahrenheit.
Write a MATLAB function that will perform a single interpolation given five numbers as input arguments and return the interpolated value as the only function output.
Write a MATLAB program that will calculate the following scenarios. Store each part in a different variable (e.g., part (a) should be stored in a variable named PartA, part (b) should be stored in a variable named PartB, etc.),
a. What is the temperature (rise) of the cup of coffee after 37 minutes if the initial rise of temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit?
b. If the coffee cools for 30 minutes and has risen 14 degrees Fahrenheit at that time, what was the initial temperature rise?
c. Find the temperature rise of the coffee at 17 minutes if the initial rise is 53 degrees Fahrenheit.

The amount of time it takes for a pendulum to swing “to-and-fro” through one complete cycle is called the “period” and is calculated using the following equation:
where
T = period in seconds, I = mass moment of inertia, m = mass of pendulum in kilograms
g = gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s2, h = effective length of pendulum in meters
What is the appropriate unit for I if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units? Please show all of your work.
Archimedes established his principle while investigating a suspected fraud in the construction of a crown. The crown was made from an alloy of gold and silver instead of pure gold. Assume that the volume of the alloy was the combined volumes of components (the density of gold is 19.3g⁄(cm^3 ), the density of silver is 10.5g⁄(cm^3 )). If the crown had a weight of 9.81 N in air and 9.10 N in pure water, what percentage of gold (by weight) was it?
a) The number of kilocalories in food is determined by calorimetry techniques in which the food is burned and the amount of heat transfer is measured. How many kilocalories per gram are there in a 5.00-g peanut if the energy from burning it is transferred to 0.500 kg of water held in a 0.100-kg aluminum cup, causing a 54.9C temperature increase? (b) Compare your answer to labeling information found on a package of peanuts and comment on whether the values are consistent.
