The tallest building in the world, according to some architectural standards, is the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, at a height of 1671 f

eet. Assume that this height was measured on a cool spring day when the temperature was 13.0 ∘C . You could use the building as a sort of giant thermometer on a hot summer day by carefully measuring its height. Suppose you do this and discover that the Taipei 101 is 0.481 foot taller than its official height.What is the temperature, assuming that the building is in thermal equilibrium with the air and that its entire frame is made of steel?

Answer:

35.14°C

Explanation:

The equation for linear thermal expansion is \Delta L = \alpha L_0\Delta T, which means that a bar of length L_0 with a thermal expansion coefficient \alpha under a temperature variation \Delta T will experiment a length variation \Delta L.

We have then \Delta L = 0.481 foot, L_0 = 1671 feet and \alpha = 0.000013 per centigrade degree (this is just the linear thermal expansion of steel that you must find in a table), which means from the equation for linear thermal expansion that we have a \Delta T =\frac{\Delta L }{\alpha L_0} = 22.14°. As said before, these degrees are centigrades (Celsius or Kelvin, it does not matter since it is only a variation), and the foot units cancel on the equation, showing no further conversion was needed.

Since our temperature on a cool spring day was 13.0°C, our new temperature must be T_f=T_0+\Delta T = 35.14°C

Is it true that atmospheric oxygen gas is a pure substance?
Mariana [72]

The stronger the forces, the more rigid the matter. Pure Substances are made of the same material throughout and have the same properties throughout. Pure substances cannot be separated into other substances. Some examples are carbon, iron, water, sugar, salt, nitrogen gas, and oxygen gas.

Which part of the steam engine does the work?
erik [133]

Imagine living off nothing but coal and water and still having enough energy to run at over 100 mph! That's exactly what a steam locomotive can do. Although these giant mechanical dinosaurs are now extinct from most of the world's railroads, steam technology lives on in people's hearts and locomotives like this still run as tourist attractions on many heritage railways.

Steam locomotives were powered by steam engines, and deserve to be remembered because they swept the world through the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. Steam engines rank with cars, airplanes, telephones, radio, and television among the greatest inventions of all time. They are marvels of machinery and excellent examples of engineering, but under all that smoke and steam, how exactly do they work?

What objects do balanced forces act on?
leva [86]

Answer: Stationary or constant velocity

Explanation:

Objects with balanced forces acting on them experience no change in motion, or no acceleration. So these objects could either be stationary at rest or have a constant velocity. These include a hanging object, a floating object, an object on a table that doesn't move, and a car moving at a constant 10 mph
