A 900 g copper rod at 20 degrees celcius has a length of 1.0000 m. The thermal expansion coefficient of copper is 17 x 10^-6 degrees celcius -1. The specific heat capacity is 0.385 kJ/kg degrees celcius. Question A: The copper is heated to 400 degrees celcius. What is the new length? Give the answer in meters and with 4 digits of precision after the decimal. Question B: The hot copper is then quenched by dunking the entire rod in a bucket with 10 kg of water at 20 degrees celcius. The specific heat capaciy of water is 4.18 kJ/kg degrees celcius. If none of the water turns to steam what is the equilibrium temp of the copper rod and water?
