Two copper rods are separated by a small gap at B. Rod AB has a diameter of 200mm and rod BC has a diameter of 150mm. Find the f
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A)3.8196 * 10^{9} Newtons        B) 2.153 * 10^{9} Newtons

Explanation:

Force = Pressure * Area.

Pressure is given as  120GPa

Area = Cross Sectional Area of Rod = Area Of A circle = πR^{2}.

Area Expansivity β =    \frac{Change in Area}{Original Area * Temperature Rise}

Area Expansivity β = 2α

α =  16.9x10-6/ ° C.

Radius of Rod AB = Half 0f Diameter, 200mm = \frac{0.2m}{2} = 0.1 m

Radius of Rod BC = Half Of Diameter, 150mm = \frac{0.15}{2} = 0.075 m.

Note: To convert from millimeter to meter you divide by 1000.

Area of Rod AB = π * 0.1^{2} =  0.0314m^{2}

Area of Rod BC = π * 0.075^{2} = 0.0177m^{2}.

Change in Area = 2α * Original Area * Temperature Rise. Therefore for

Rod AB = 2 * 16.9*10^{-6} * 0.0314 * 30 = 3.183 * 10^{-5}m^{2}.

For Rod BC we have = 2 * 16.9*10^{-6} * 0.0177 * 30 = 1.794∈-5m^{2}.

The forces on each rods will be given by.

Force AB = Pressure * Area  of Rod AB

                 = 120GPa * 3.183 * 10^{-5} gives 3.8196 * 10^{9} Newtons.

Force BC = Pressure * Area of Rod BC

                = 120GPa * 1.794 * 10^{-5} gives 2.153 * 10^{9} Newtons

The length of a wooden rod is 25.5 cm. What is this length in:<br>(a) millimetres?<br>(b) metres?​
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

(a)255mm \\ (b)0.255m

Explanation:

(a)1cm = 10mm \\ 25.5cm = x

Cross multiply

1x = 25.5 \times 10 \\ x = 255mm

(b)100cm = 1m \\ 25.5cm = x

cross multiply

100x = 25.5 \\  \frac{100x}{100}  =  \frac{25.5}{100}  \\ x = 0.255m

hope this helps

brainliest appreciated

good luck! have a nice day!

A student lifts a physical science book off the table and above their head. Is there work being done?
DiKsa [7]

Answer: A force must cause a displacement in order for work to be done. A book falls off a table and free falls to the ground. Yes. This is an example of work.

Is it accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Yes, it is <span>accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy. Some people might argue about the dark matter, but it is not yet defined properly. Different universes can be made up of different compositions but it is a fact that our universe is made of matter and energy. </span>
