Chapter 19, Problem 21PQ
The distance between telephone poles is 30.50 m in a neighborhood where the temperature ranges from −35°C to 40°C. If you hang a copper cable between two adjacent poles on a day when the temperature is 22.30°C, what is the minimum length of the copper cable you must use for the cable to remain connected to the poles all year? Assume the cable is straight, and ignore the effect of gravity on the cable. Consider α to have four significant figures and report your answer to four significant figures.

A perfectly insulating cylindrical glass is partially full of water. At the top of the water is a uniform layer of ice. The temperature of the water is 0 ∘C,0 ∘C, and the temperature of the air above the ice is held fixed at −19.00 ∘C.−19.00 ∘C.
If the initial thickness of the ice layer is ?i=0.0950 m and the depth of the water below the ice is ?w=0.1050 m, how long, in hours, will it take for the rest of the water to freeze? Assume that there is no transfer of heat through the sides or bottom of the glass and that the ice layer can slide freely up and down the glass.
The latent heat of fusion of water is 3.33×105 J/kg, and the thermal conductivity of ice is 2.180 W/(m⋅∘C). The density of water near freezing is 1000.0 kg/m3, and the density of ice is 917.00 kg/m3.
A bimetallic strip of total thickness x is straight at temperature T. What is the radius of curvature of the strip, R, when it is heated to temperature T + DT? The coefficients of linear expansion of the two metals are a1 and a2, respectively, with a2 > a1. You may assume that each metal has thickness x/2, and you may assume that x << R.

On the earth's surface the atmospheric pressure is 1.00 x 105 Pa, while the surface temperature can reach 320 K. These data imply that the planet X has a "thicker" atmosphere at its surface than does the earth, which means that the number of molecules per unit volume (N/V) is greater on the surface of planet X than on the earth.
