Suppose that a steel bridge, 1000 m long, were built without any expansion joints. Suppose that only one end of the bridge was h

eld fixed. What would the difference in the length of the bridge be between winter and summer, taking a typical winter temperature as 0°C, and a typical summer temperature as 40°C? The coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is 10.5 × 10-6 K-1.

Answer:

The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 1000 m

Winter temperature = 0°C

Summer temperature = 40°C

Coefficient of thermal expansion \alpha= 10.5\times10^{-6}\ K^{-1}

We need to calculate the difference in the length of the bridge

Using formula of the difference in the length

\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T

Where, \Delta T= temperature difference

\alpha=Coefficient of thermal expansion

L= length

Put the value into the formula

\Delta L=1000\times10.5\times10^{-6}(40^{\circ}-0^{\circ})

\Delta L=0.42\ m

Hence, The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

A student attempted to measure the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.4 kJ/g

Explanation:

The given readings are;

The first (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₁ = 581 g

The second (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₂ = 526 g

The first joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₁ = 195 kJ

The second joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₂ = 327 kJ

The latent heat of vaporization = The heat required to evaporate a given mass water at constant temperature

Based on the measurements, we have;

The latent heat of vaporization = ΔQ/Δm

∴ The latent heat of vaporization of water = (327 kJ - 195 kJ)/(581 g - 526 g) = 2.4 kJ/g

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.4 kJ/g
