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

brate. I will then remove the strip and quickly place it on a piece of graph paper to measure the deflection of the end, i.e. how far the end is away from the original line, measured perpendicular to the original line.
The bimetallic strip is 222 mm long. The thickness was measured to be 0.036”.
Predict how far the end will deflect, to the nearest half millimeter.

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

A 4.00 m long, massless beam rests horizontally on a support 3.00 m from the left
Rus_ich [418]

If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

Given the data in the question;

  • Length of the massless beam;L = 4.00m
  • Distance of support from the left end; x = 3.00m
  • First mass; m1 = 31.3 kg
  • Distance of beam from  the left end( m₁ is attached to ); x_1 = ?
  • Second mass; m_2 = 61.7 kg
  • Distance of beam from  the right of the support( m₂ is attached to ); x_1 = 0.273m

Now, since it is mentioned that the beam is in static equilibrium, the Net Torque on it about the support must be zero.

Hence, m_1g( x-x_1) = m_2gx_2

we divide both sides by g

m_1( x-x_1) = m_2x_2

Next, we make x_1, the subject of the formula

x_1 = x - [ \frac{m_2x_2}{m_1} ]

We substitute in our given values

x_1 = 3.00m - [ \frac{61.7kg\ * \ 0.273m}{31.3kg} ]

x_1 = 3.00m - 0.538m

x_1 = 2.46m

Therefore, If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

A 97 kg man lying on a surface of negligible friction shoves a 62 g stone away from himself, giving it a speed of 2.6 m/s. What
tangare [24]

Answer:

man will move in opposite direction with speed

v_1 = 1.66 \times 10^{-3} m/s

Explanation:

As we know that man is lying on the friction-less surface

so here net force along the surface is zero

so if we take man + stone as a system then net change in momentum of this system will become zero

so here we have

P_i = P_f

0 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

here we have

0 = (97)v_1 + 0.062(2.6)

v_1 = -\frac{0.1612}{97}

v_1 = -1.66 \times 10^{-3} m/s
