Answer:

0.0176m

Explanation:

Given that,

railroad track has a length of 40 m

temperature is T₁ −5 ◦C

temperature is T₂ 35 ◦C

linear expansion coefficient of steel is 11 × 10−6 ( ◦C)−1

Lo = 40 m

T₁ = -5° C

T₂ = 35° C

dT = T₂ - T₁

    = 35 - (-5)

     = 40°C

L = Lo*(1+alpha*dT)

dL = Lo*alpha*dT

dT =  40°C

alpah = 11 x 10⁻⁶

Lo = 40 m

dL = 40 × 11 x 10⁻⁶  × 40

 = 0.0176m

Answer:

ΔL = 0.0176m

Explanation:

We are given;

Length of railroad track; L = 40 m

First Temperature; T1 = −5 ◦C

Second temperature; T2 = 35 ◦C

linear expansion coefficient of steel; α = 11 × 10^(−6) (◦C)^(-1)

The increase in length is given by the equation;

ΔL = α•L•ΔT

Where,

α is linear coefficient

L is length

ΔT is change in temperature.

ΔT = first temperature - Second Temperature

Thus, ΔT = 35 - (-5) = 35 + 5 = 40°C

Thus,plugging in relevant values,

ΔL = α•L•ΔT = 11 × 10^(−6)•40•40

ΔL = 0.0176m

A flat, 179 179 ‑turn, current‑carrying loop is immersed in a uniform magnetic field. The area of the loop is 4.41 cm 2 4.41 cm2
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The value of the magnetic field is  B =0.1423T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

              The number of turns is  N = 179

               The area of the loop is A = 4.41cm^2 = \frac{4.41}{10000} = 0.000414m

                 The angle is  \theta  = 59^o

               The torque  is  \tau =2.25 * 10^{- 5} N

                The current is  I = 2.49\ mA

The torque acting on the current carry loop is  mathematically represented as

                     \tau = B * I * N * A * sin \theta

Where is the magnitude of the magnetic filed

Making B the subject

                     B= \frac{\tau}{I * N * A * sin\theta}

Substituting values

                    B = \frac{2.25*10^{-5}}{2.49*10^{-3} * 179 * 0.000414 * sin (59)}

                       =0.1423 T
