The aircraft wing from problem 6 experiences temperature extremes that span 210 degrees Celsius. The component for the wing will

have a length of exactly 3 meters. Testing indicates that the aircraft wing will remain stable only if the component never expands to a length larger than 3.017 meters. If the component is made from the metal alloy in question, will it meet this requirement. An unknown metal alloy is being tested to discover its thermal properties to see if it is suitable for use as a component in an aircraft wing. The alloy is formed into a bar measuring 1 meter in length, and is then heated from its starting temp. of 30°C to a final temperature of 100°C. The length of the heated bar is measured to be exactly 1.002 meters in length.
Required:
What is the coefficient of thermal expansion of the alloy?

Answer:

α = 2,857 10⁻⁵ ºC⁻¹

Explanation:

The thermal expansion of materials is described by the expression

          ΔL = α Lo ΔT

          α = \frac{\Delta L}{L_o \ \Delta T}

in the case of the bar the expansion is

         ΔL = L_f - L₀

         ΔL=   1.002 -1

         ΔL = 0.002 m

the temperature variation is

         ΔT = 100 - 30

         ΔT = 70º C

we calculate

         α = 0.002 / 1 70

         α = 2,857 10⁻⁵ ºC⁻¹

How are ice liquid water and water vapor different from each other?
olga_2 [115]
The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.

Which instrument is used to measure depth of ocean ?
skelet666 [1.2K]
Echo sounding is a type of SONAR used to determine the depth of water by transmitting sound pulses into water. The time interval between emission and return of a pulse is recorded, which is used to determine the depth of water along with the speed of sound in water at the time.
