A bimetallic strip (brass/steel), which is straight at room temperature, will be immersed in boiling water and allowed to equili

lakkis [162]

The thermal expansion of the materials allows to find the deflection of the bimetallist strip is Δy = 3.48 cm

given paramers

* Bimetallic brass / steel tape

* Initial temperature, room temperature T = 20ºC

* Final temperature, boiling water = 100ºC

* initial length L₀ = 222mm (1cm / 10mm) = 22.2cm

* thickness of bimetallic tape e = 0.036 inch (2.54 cm/1 inch) = 0.0914 cm

to find

* perpendicular deviation or deflection (Δy)

Thermal expansion is the phenomenon of change in the length of a body due to the change in temperature, due to the increase in the length of the atomic and molecular bonds, macroscopically it is described by

ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

ΔL and ΔT are the variation of the length and temperature respectively, L₀ is the initial length and α the coefficient of expansion ends.

In this case we have a strip formed by two materials with different coefficient of thermal expansion,

Brass α_{brass} = 19 10⁻⁶ ºC⁻¹

Steel α_{steel} = 11 10⁻⁶ ºC⁻¹

In the attached we can see a diagram of the process, as the temperature increases, the material with greater thermal expansion lengthens more, so the system must curve towards the center of the material with less

thermal expansion. Let's find the length of the strip for each material

brass L_{f brass} - L₀ = α_{brass} L₀ ΔT

Steel L_{f steel} - L₀ = \alpha_{steel} L₀ ΔT

Note that the initial length is the same for the two materials and that the strip is in thermal equilibrium at room temperature.

If we assume that we have an arc of circumference, we can write the length of the arc

θ = L / r

where θ is the angle in radines, L the length of the arc and r the radius of curvature, let's write this equation for each material

brass L_{f \ brass} =θ r₁

steel L_{f \ steel} = θ r₂

we substitute in our equations

θ r₁ - L₀ = α_{brass} L₀ ΔT

θ r₂ - L₀ = α_{steel} L₀ ΔT

let's subtract the two equations

θ (r₁- r₂) = L₀ ΔT (α_{brass} - α_{steel})

the thickness of the strip is

e = r₁ -r₂

θ = $Lo \ \Delta T \ \frac{\alpha_{brass} - \alpha_{steel}}{e}$

we calculate

θ = $22.2 \ (100-20) \ \frac{(19-11) \ 10^{-6}}{0.0914}$

θ = 0.155 rad

Let's use trigonometry to find the perpendicular deflection

tan θ = Δy / L₀

Δy = L₀ tan θ

Δy = 22.2 tan 0.155

Δy = 3.48 cm

Using the thematic expansion of the two materials we find the deflection of the bimetallist strip is 3.38 cm

Which of the following statements is not consistent with the properties of a molecular solid?a. a compound that conducts electri

erica [24]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

a. a compound that conducts electricity when molten

Explanation:

A molecular is solid comprises of a collection of molecules combined together by van der Waals forces and not having covalent or ionic bonds. They are made up of forces atoms or molecules combined by dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces or hydrogen bonds. Exmples include graphite and diamonds. The forces between the molecules in molecular solid is also known as intermolecular forces (IMFs)

"A circuit consists of a battery and two resistors connected in parallel. If the resistance in both resistors is doubled, and th

sveticcg [70]

Let's call R the value of the resistance of the two resistors. In the first situation, the resistors are connected in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is given by:
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{R}=\frac{2}{R}$
which means:
$R_{eq}=\frac{R}{2}$
And calling I the current in the circuit, the voltage is given by Ohm's law:
$V=IR_{eq}=\frac{IR}{2}$

In the second situation, the resistance of each resistor is doubled: R'=2R. So, the equivalent resistance in this case is given by
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{2R}+\frac{1}{2R}=\frac{2}{2R}=\frac{1}{R}$
which means
$R_{eq}=R$
And the new voltage is given by:
$V'=IR_{eq}=IR=2V$
which is twice the original voltage, so the voltage has doubled.
