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
We need to calculate the difference in the length of the bridge
Using formula of the difference in the length
Where, = temperature difference
=Coefficient of thermal expansion
L= length
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.
Explanation:
A) To prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic:
System diagram for given situation is shown in attached Fig. 1
We can prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic if
where aₓ is acceleration when attached cylinders move in horizontal direction:
<h3>PROOF:</h3>rotational inertia for cylinders is given as:
-----(1)
Newton's second law for angular motion is:
∑τ = Iα ------(2)
For linear motion in horizontal direction it is:
∑Fₓ = Maₓ ------ (3)
By definition of torque:
τ = RF --------(4)
Put (4) and (1) in (2)
from Fig 3 it can be seen that fs is force by which the cylinders roll without slipping as they oscillate
So above equation becomes
------ (5)
As angular acceleration is related to linear by:
Eq (5) becomes
---- (6)
aₓ shows displacement in horizontal direction
From (3)
∑Fₓ = Maₓ
Fₓ is sum of fs and restoring force that spring exerts:
----(7)
Put (7) in (3)
[/tex] -----(8)
Using (6) in (8)
--- (9)
For spring mass system
----- (10)
Equating (9) and (10)
then (9) becomes
(The minus sign says that x and aₓ have opposite directions as shown in fig 3)
This proves that the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic.
