1. A 20 m long steel rail is firmly attached to the road bed only at its ends. The sun raisesthe temperature of the rail by 30°C, causing the rail to buckle. Assuming that the buckledrail consists of two straight parts meeting in the centre, calculate how much the centre ofthe rail rises? For steel a = 12 x 10-6/C.2. What should be the lengths of a steel and copper rod if the steel rod is 4 cm longer thanthe copper rod at any temperature. a(steel) = 1.1 x 10-5/C; a (copper) = 1.7 x 10-5/C.3. Two glass bulbs of volume 500 and 100 cc are connected by a narrow tube whose volumeis negligible. When the apparatus is sealed off, the pressure of the air inside is 70 cm ofHg and the temperature 20°C. What does the pressure become if the 100 cc bulb is keptat 20°C and the other is heated to 100°C?4. A bubble of gas rises from the bottom of a lake 30 m deep.

A piece of lead falls from a height of 100 m on to a fixed non-conducting slab which bringsit to rest. Show that its temperature immediately after the collision is raised byapproximately 7.1 K (the specific heat of lead is 30.6 cal/kg 0°C between 0 and 100°C).9. 1.36 kg of air are held at 6.89 kPa and 38 C. Given that Rair 88.89 J/kg-K, what is thevolume of the container?10. What is the change in internal energy of 2.27 kg of oxygen gas when the temperaturechanges from 38 C to 49 C? (c, = 0.658 kJ/kg-K)

If the rails are originally laid in contact, what is the stress in them on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 ∘C (answer in Pascals)?
The gap width is 1.610 cm when the temperature is 30.0°C. Determine the gap width when the temperature is 205°C. (Use 11 ✕ 10−6 (°C)−1 for the average coefficient of linear expansion for steel. Give your answer to at least three decimal places.)
A farmer making grape juice fills a glass bottle to the brim and caps it tightly. The juice is warmed up, such that the volume of the juice would increase by 2.5% were it not constrained in the bottle. Calculate the increase in force exerted by the juice per square centimeter (in N/cm2) if its bulk modulus is 2.4 x 10° N/m2, assuming the bottle does not break. (Assume the expansion of the glass is negligible. Enter the magnitude.) 1 6000 |× N/cm2
