Two metal bars are made of invar and a third bar is made of aluminum. At 0°C, each of the three bars is drilled with two holes 40.0 cm apart. Pins are put through the holes to assemble the bars into an equilateral triangle as in Figure P18.31. (a) First ignore the expansion of the invar. Find the angle between the invar bars as a function of Celsius temperature. (b) Is your answer accurate for negative as well as positive temperatures? (c) Is it accurate for 0°C? (d) Solve the problem again, including the expansion of the invar. Aluminum melts at 660°C and invar at 1 427°C. Assume the tabulated expansion coefficients are constant. What are (e) the greatest and (f) the smallest attainable angles between the invar bars?

(a)
Answer to Problem 19.54AP
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The distance between two holes drilled at
In the given diagram consider the right triangle that each invar bar makes with one half of the aluminum bar.
Then, the angle is,
Here,
Rearrange the above equation for
Conclusion:
Therefore, the angle between the invar bars as a function of Celsius temperature is
(b)
Answer to Problem 19.54AP
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The distance between two holes drilled at
If the temperature drops, the Celsius temperature becomes negative. The negative value of the Celsius temperature describes the contraction of the bars. So the answer is accurate for the negative temperature same as the positive temperature.
Conclusion:
Therefore, yes the answer is accurate for negative as well as positive temperature.
(c)
Answer to Problem 19.54AP
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The distance between two holes drilled at
The expression for the angle between the invar bars is,
Substitute
The value of each angle of the right angle triangle is
Conclusion:
Therefore, Yes, the answer is accurate at

- Can you help me solve these questions please so i can see how to do itarrow_forwardHow can i solve this if n1 (refractive index of gas) and n2 (refractive index of plastic) is not known. And the brewsters angle isn't knownarrow_forward2. Consider the situation described in problem 1 where light emerges horizontally from ground level. Take k = 0.0020 m' and no = 1.0001 and find at which horizontal distance, x, the ray reaches a height of y = 1.5 m.arrow_forward

In addition to the net disturbances being equal at the junction, the slope of the net disturbances must also be equal at the junction at all times. Given that p1 = 4.0 g/m, H2 = 9.0 g/m and Aj = 0.50 cm find 2. A, (Answer: -0.10 cm) and 3. Ay.

- 3. As a woman, who's eyes are h = 1.5 m above the ground, looks down the road sees a tree with height H = 9.0 m. Below the tree is what appears to be a reflection of the tree. The observation of this apparent reflection gives the illusion of water on the roadway. This effect is commonly called a mirage. Use the results of questions 1 and 2 and the principle of ray reversibility to analyze the diagram below. Assume that light leaving the top of the tree bends toward the horizontal until it just grazes ground level. After that, the ray bends upward eventually reaching the woman's eyes. The woman interprets this incoming light as if it came from an image of the tree. Determine the size, H', of the image.
