Chapter 16, Problem 87GP
A grandfather clock has a simple brass pendulum of length L. One night, the temperature in the house is 25.0 °C and the period of the pendulum is 1.00 s. The clock keeps correct time at this temperature. If the temperature in the house quickly drops to 17.1 °C just after 10 P.M., and stays at that value, what is the actual time when the clock indicates that it is 10 A.M. the next morning?

The quantity of energy Q transferred by heat conduction through an insulating pad in time interval Δt is described by Q/Δt = κAΔT/d, where κ is the thermal conductivity of the material, A is the face area of the pad (perpendicular to the direction of heat flow), ΔT is the difference in temperature across the pad, and d is the thickness of the pad. In one trial to test material as lining for sleeping bags, 86.0 J of heat is transferred through a 3.40-cm-thick pad when the temperature on one side is 37.0°C and on the other side is 2.00°C. In a trial of the same duration with the same temperatures, how much heat will be transferred when more of the material is added to form a pad with the same face area and total thickness 8.41 cm?

A half-hour later, the temperature of the parsnip is 100°C. Write the differential equation which models the heating of the parsnip then solve your differential equation to find a temperature function. Use H = H(t) for the temperature function at time t with t in hours and H in C°. Hint: Use Newton's law of cooling. Screenshotarrow_forwardHow does temperature affect the time measured by a pendulum clock? More precisely, consider a clock that uses a simple pendulum. The pendulum consists of a thin metal rod of length l. Recall that the angular frequency of a simple pendulum is w = g/l. Suppose on a hot day, the temperature is considerably above “average." How does the increased temperature affect the clock? a) The clock runs slow. So it reports a time behind actual time. b) The clock runs fast. So it reports a time ahead of actual time. c) The clock is not affected by the temperature. d) The answer depends on the mass of the simple pendulum.arrow_forward

- A patient has an illness that typically lasts about 24 hours. The temperature, T, in degrees Fahrenheit, of the patient t hours after the illness begins is given by: T(t) = -0.012t² +0.3t +98.7.

This temperature slowly cools down to room temperature, which is 20 °C. At 5:30, the temperature of the pizza is 39.3 °C, at 5:35, it is only 26.3 °C. The temperature of the pizza as a function of time t can be modelled by a function of the form Ta bt +c, where T is the temperature of the pizza (in °C), t is the time in minutes starting from 5:30 and a, b and c are positive constants (and b > 1). Note that we do not measure time from the moment the pizza comes out of the oven: that would complicate the calculations unnecessarily. a. Find the value of the constant c. (Hint: consider the temperature evolution of the pizza in the long term.) b. Find the value of the constant a. (Hint: consider the situation at t = 0.) c.
