Answer: thermometer

Explanation:

Hi, a thermometer is usually a bulb or a spring thermometer. Both work by having a liquid, either alcohol and mercury, enclosed in a vacuum and the liquid expands as the temperature rises. Colored alcohol or mercury rises along a scale in a bulb thermometer whereas expanding liquid rotates a spring to turn an indicator needle around along a circular scale on a spring thermometer. Thermometers now have digital scale displays.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

ΔT= 11.94 °C

Explanation:

Given that

mass of water = 10 kh

Time t= 15 min

Heat lot from water = 400 KJ

Heat input to the water = 1 KW

Heat input the water= 1 x 15 x 60

=900 KJ

By heat balancing

Heat supply - heat rejected = Heat gain by water

As we know that heat capacity of water

$C_p=4.187 \frac{KJ}{kg-K}$

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

Now by putting the values

900 - 400 = 10 x 4.187 x ΔT

So rise in temperature of water ΔT= 11.94 °C

Answer:

T=151 K, U=-1.848*10^6J

Explanation:

The given process occurs when the pressure is constant. Given gas follows the Ideal Gas Law:

pV=nRT

For the given scenario, we operate with the amount of the gas- n- calculated in moles. To find n, we use molar mass: M=102 g/mol.

Using the given mass m, molar mass M, we can get the following equation:

pV=mRT/M

To calculate change in the internal energy, we need to know initial and final temperatures. We can calculate both temperatures as:

T=pVM/(Rm); so initial T=302.61K and final T=151.289K

Now we can calculate change of U:

U=3/2 mRT/M using T- difference in temperatures

U=-1.848*10^6 J

Note, that the energy was taken away from the system.

aksik [14]

Answer:

Tmax=14.5MPa

Tmin=10.3MPa

Explanation:

T = 600 * 0.15 = 90N.m

$T_max =\frac{T_c}{j} = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{90 \times 0.0175}{\frac{\pi}{2} \times (0.0175^4-0.0125^4)}$

=14.5MPa

$T_{min} =\frac{T_c}{j} = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{90 \times 0.0125}{\frac{\pi}{2} \times (0.0175^4-0.0125^4)}$

=10.3MPa

A rectangular block of material with shear modulus G= 620 MPa is fixed to rigid plates at its top and bottom surfaces. Thelower

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

γ $_{xy}$ =0.01, P=248 kN

Explanation:

Given Data:

displacement = 2mm ;

height = 200mm ;

l = 400mm ;

w = 100 ;

G = 620 MPa = 620 N//mm²; 1MPa = 1N//mm²

a. Average Shear Strain:

The average shear strain can be determined by dividing the total displacement of plate by height

γ $_{xy}$ = displacement / total height

= 2/200 = 0.01

b. Force P on upper plate:

Now, as we know that force per unit area equals to stress

τ = P/A

Also, τ = Gγ $_{xy}$

By comapring both equations, we get

P/A = Gγ $_{xy}$ ------------ eq(1)

First we need to calculate total area,

A = l*w = 400 * 100= 4*10^4mm²

By putting the values in equation 1, we get

P/40000 = 620 * 0.01

P = 248000 N or 2.48 *10^5 N or 248 kN
