A carpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 3.0 cm thick on the outside and a layer of Styrofoam insulation 2

.4 cm thick on the inside wall surface. The wood has k=0.080W/(m?K), and the Styrofoam has k= 0.010 W/(m?K). The interior surface temperature is 20.0 ?C , and the exterior surface temperature is -13.0 ?C
A.) What is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam? _______ Celsius
B.) What is the rate of heat flow per square meter through this wall? ______W/m^2

Answer:

A. T=15.54 °C

B. Q/A= 0.119 W/m2

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the Fourier's law for thermal conduction:

Q= kA\frac{dT}{dx}

Here, the rate of flow per square meter must be the same through the complete wall. Therefore, we can use it to find the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam as follows:

\frac{Q}{A} =\frac{T_1-T_0}{d_w}k_w=\frac{T_2-T_1}{d_s}k_s\\T_1(\frac{k_w}{d_w}+\frac{k_s}{d_s})=T_2\frac{k_s}{d_s}+T_0\frac{k_w}{d_w}\\T_1=\frac{T_2\frac{k_s}{d_s}+T_0\frac{k_w}{d_w}}{\frac{k_w}{d_w}+\frac{k_s}{d_s}}\\T_1= 15.54 \°C

Then, to find the rate of heat flow per square meter, we have:

\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{T_1-T_0}{d_w}k_w=0.119 \frac{W}{m^2}\\\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{T_2-T_1}{d_s}k_s= 0.119 \frac{W}{m^2}

T_0: Temperature \ in \ the \ house\\T_1: Temperature \ at \ the \ plane \ between \ wood \ and \ styrofoam\\T_2: Temperature \ outside\\k_w: k \ for \ wood\\d_w: wood \ thickness\\k_s: k \ for \ styrofoam\\d_s: styrofoam \ thickness

How does Mercury's close proximity to the sun and thin atmosphere affect its ability to maintain liquid water
alekssr [168]

Answer

A thin atmosphere does not supply much oxygen, and the heat from the sun would evaporate it, because mercury is close to the sun.

Two teams of nine members each engage in tug-of-war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an
diamong [38]

Answer:

(a) Acceleration  = 0.1063 m/s^2      (Second team wins)

(b) Tension in rope = 65.106 N

Explanation:

Total mass of first team = 68 * 9 = 612 kg

Total force of first team = 1350 * 9 = 12150 N

Total mass of second team = 73 * 9 = 657 kg

Total force of seconds team = 1365 * 9 = 12285 N

Difference in force = 12285 - 12150 = 135 N   (towards the second team as it has more force)

(a) For acceleration we get:

F = m * a

135 = (mass of both teams) * a

a = 135 / (612 + 657)

acceleration  = 0.1063 m/s^2      (Second team wins)

(b) Since we know the acceleration of the first team (pulling being pulled towards the second team at an acceleration of 0.1063 m/s^2) , we can find out the force required to move them:

Force required for first team = mass of first team * acceleration

Force required = 612 * 0.1063

Force required = 65.106 N

This is the force exerted on the first team through the rope, so the tension in the rope will also be 65.106 N.
