- Consider an object with any one of the shapes displayed in Table 10.2. What is the percentage increase in the moment of inertia of the object when it is warmed from 0C to 100C if it is composed of (a) copper or (b) aluminum? Assume the average linear expansion coefficients shown in Table 16.1 do not vary between 0C and 100C. (c) Why are the answers for parts (a) and (b) the same for all the shapes?arrow_forwardAn aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)arrow_forwardThe height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 .

If the volume increases from 1.00 m3 to 3.00 m3 and 12.5 kJ is transferred to the gas by heat, what are (a) the change in its internal energy and (b) its final temperature?arrow_forwardFor a temperature increase of 10 at constant volume, what is the heat absorbed by (a) 3.0 mol of a dilute monatomic gas; (b) 0.50 mol of a dilute diatomic gas; and (c) 15 mol of a dilute polyatomic gas?arrow_forwardA certain molecule has f degrees of freedom. Show that an ideal gas consisting of such molecules has the following properties: (a) its total internal energy is fnRT/2, (b) its molar specific heat at constant volume is fR/2, (c) its molar specific heat at constant pressure is (f + 2)R/2, and (d) its specific heat ratio is γ = CP/CV = (f + 2)/f.arrow_forward

Imagine that a steel wire with this length and a cross-sectional area of 4.40 ✕ 10−6 m2 is laid on the bridge deck with its ends attached to the towers of the bridge, on a summer day when the temperature of the wire is 36.0°C. (a) When winter arrives, the towers stay the same distance apart and the bridge deck keeps the same shape as its expansion joints open. When the temperature drops to −10.0°C, what is the tension in the wire? Take Young's modulus for steel to be 20.0 ✕ 1010 N/m2. (Assume the coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is 11 ✕ 10−6 (°C)−1.) ? N(b) Permanent deformation occurs if the stress in the steel exceeds its elastic limit of 3.00 ✕ 108 N/m2.
