He dusts the interiors of plastic tubes with powdered sugar and then seals one end of each tube. He captures the bird at nighttime in its nest and attaches a tube to its back. He then catches the same bird the next night and removes the tube. In one trial, using a tube 6.50 cm long, water washes away the sugar over a distance of 2.70 cm from the open end of the tube. Find the greatest depth to which the bird dived, assuming the air in the tube stayed at constant temperature.arrow_forwardA construction worker uses a steel tape to measure the length of an aluminum support column.

- The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.arrow_forwardA hollow aluminum cylinder 20.0 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2.000 L at 20.0C. It is completely filled with turpentine at 20.0C. The turpentine and the aluminum cylinder are then slowly warmed together to 80.0C. (a) How much turpentine overflows? (b) What is the volume of the turpentine remaining in the cylinder at 80.0C? (c) If the combination with this amount of turpentine is then cooled back to 20.0C, how far below the cylinders rim does the turpentines surface recede?arrow_forwardThe measurement of the average coefficient of volume expansion for a liquid is complicated because the container also changes size with temperature. Figure P19.62 shows a simple means for measuring despite the expansion of the container. With this apparatus, one arm of a U-tube is maintained at 0C in a water-ice bath, and the other arm is maintained at a different temperature Tc in a constant-temperature bath. The connecting tube is horizontal. A difference in the length or diameter of the tube between the two arms of the U-tube has no effect on the pressure balance at the bottom of the tube because the pressure depends only on the depth of the liquid. Derive an expression for for the liquid in terms of h0, hi and Tc.arrow_forward

Your supervisor is studying the effects of molecules striking the inner surface of the tire due to their thermal motion. He gives you the following data from a recent experiment. The air in a tire on a parked car was measured to have a gauge pressure of Pi = 1.65 atm on a day when the temperature was T = 6.5C. The car was then driven for a while and then measurements were taken again. The gauge pressure in the tire was then Pf = 1.95 atm and the interior volume of the tire had increased by 5.00%. (a) Your supervisor asks you to determine by what factor the rms speed of the air molecules had increased from the first measurement In the second. (b) He also hints at a proposal he is going to make to replace air in tires with argon. Will this change the factor by which the average speed of the molecules changes in the conditions described?arrow_forwardAssuming the human body is primarily made of water, estimate the number of molecules in it.

Assume the upper half does not yet cool, (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K. what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K?
