Construct Your Own Problem Consider a new model of commercial airplane having its brakes tested as a part of the initial flight permission procedure. The airplane is brought to takeoff speed and then stopped with the brakes alone. Construct a problem in which you calculate the temperature increase of the brakes during this process. You may assume most of the kinetic energy of the airplane is converted to thermal energy in the brakes and surrounding materials, and that little escapes. Note that the brakes are expected to become so hot in this procedure that they ignite and, in order to pass the test, the airplane must be able to withstand the fire for some time without a general conflagration.

1. A coil of copper wire (p = 10.37 2-cmil/ft) has a length of 600 ft. What is the length of an aluminum conductor
(p 17 cmil/ft), if its cross-sectional area and resistance are the same as those of the copper coil? (Hint: Look
for conversion of inches to mils and square inches to square foot. Include it in your solution.) (1 pt)
2. The copper field winding of an electric machine has a resistance of 46 at temperature of 22°C. What will be
its resistance at 75°C? (Use do = 0.00427 /°C for copper) (1 pt)
3. The resistivity of a copper rod 50 ft long and 0.25 inch in diameter is 1.76 μ at 20°C. What is its resistance at -
20°C? (1 pt)
4. When two resistors A and B are connected in series, the total resistance is 36 2. When connected in parallel, the

2. Two equally strong individuals, wearing
exactly the same shoes decide to do a tug of
war. The only difference is individual A is
2.5 meters tall and individual B is 1.5 meter
tall. Who is more likely to win the tug of
war?
6. A car drives at steady speed around a perfectly
circular track.
(a) The car's acceleration is zero.
(b) The net force on the car is zero.
(c) Both the acceleration and net force on the car
point outward.

point inward.
(e) If there is no friction, the acceleration is
outward.
