Suppose you have two meter sticks, one made of steel and one made of invar (an alloy of iron and nickel), which are the same len

gth (1.00 m) at 0°C. The coefficients of volume expansion for steel and invar are 3.6 × 10-5 /°C and 2.7 × 10-6 /°C respectively.What is their difference in length, in meters, at 20.5°C ?

Answer:

  • The difference in length for steel is 2.46 x 10⁻⁴ m
  • The difference in length for invar is 1.845 x 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

Given;

original length of steel, L₁ = 1.00 m

original length of invar, L₁ = 1.00 m

coefficients of volume expansion for steel, \gamma_{st.} =  3.6 × 10⁻⁵ /°C

coefficients of volume expansion for invar, \gamma_{in.} =  2.7 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

temperature rise in both meter stick, θ = 20.5°C

Difference in length, can be calculated as:

L₂ = L₁ (1 + αθ)

L₂  = L₁ + L₁αθ

L₂  - L₁ = L₁αθ

ΔL = L₁αθ

Where;

ΔL is difference in length

α is linear expansivity = \frac{\gamma}{3}

Difference in length, for steel at 20.5°C:

ΔL =  L₁αθ

Given;

L₁ = 1.00 m

θ = 20.5°C

\alpha = \frac{\gamma}{3} = \frac{3.6*10^{-5}}{3} = 1.2*10^{-5} /^oC

ΔL  = 1 x 1.2 x 10⁻⁵ x 20.5 = 2.46 x 10⁻⁴ m

Difference in length, for invar at 20.5°C:

ΔL =  L₁αθ

Given;

L₁ = 1.00 m

θ = 20.5°C

\alpha = \frac{\gamma}{3} = \frac{2.7*10^{-6}}{3} = 0.9*10^{-6}/^oC

ΔL  = 1 x 0.9 x 10⁻⁶ x 20.5 = 1.845 x 10⁻⁵ m

Kaylis [27]

distance to the star Betelgeuse: 640 ly

As we know that

1 ly = 63000 AU

also we know that

1AU = 1.5 \times 10^8 km

1 ly = 63000 (1.5 \times 10^8) = 9.45 \times 10^{12} km

So the distance of Betelgeuse = 640 ly

d_1 = 640 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} = 6.05 \times 10^{15} m

distance to the star VY Canis Majoris: 3.09 × 10^8 AU

d_2 = 3.09\times 10^8 \times 1.5 \times 10^8 km

d_2 = 4.64 \times 10^{16} km

distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud: 49976 pc

1 pc = 3.262 ly = 3.262 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} km

1pc = 3.08 \times 10^{13} km

now we have

d_3 = 49976 \times 3.08 \times 10^{13}

d_3 = 1.54 \times 10^{18} km

distance to Neptune at the farthest: 4.7 billion km

d_4 = 4.7 \times 10^9 km

now the order of distance from least to greatest is as following

1. distance to Neptune at the farthest

2. distance of Betelgeuse

3. distance to the star VY Canis Majoris

4. distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

\frac{R}{1} = \frac{44}{9}\ohm

Explanation:

Let us imagine that there are three wire of length equal length having equal resistances each of 44/3 Ω

Now connect these wires in parallel to so that their equivalent resistance is R.

then

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{3}{44}+\frac{3}{44}+\frac{3}{44}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{9}{44}

⇒\frac{R}{1} = \frac{44}{9}\ohm
