SSM The envelope and basket of a hot-air balloon have a combined weight of 2.45 kN, and the envelope has a capacity (volume) of 2.18 × 103 m3. When it is fully inflated, what should be the temperature of the enclosed air to give the balloon a lifting capacity (force) of 2.67 kN (in addition to the balloon's weight)? Assume that the surrounding air, at 20.0°C has a weight per unit volume of 11.9 N/m3 and a molecular mass of 0.028 kg/mol, and is at a pressure of 1.0 atm.

- An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? 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? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)arrow_forwardA company advertises that it delivers helium at a gauge pressure of 1.72107 Pa in a cylinder of volume 43.8 L. How many balloons can be inflated to a volume of 4.00 L with that amount of helium? Assume the pressure inside the balloons is 1.72105 Pa and the temperature in the cylinder and the balloons is 25.0 .arrow_forwardA copper washer is to be fit in place over a steel bolt. Both pieces of metal are at 38.O°C. If the diameter of the bolt is 1.0000 cm and the inner diameter of the washer is 0.9980 cm, to what temperature must the washer be raised so it will fit over the bolt? Only the copper washer is heated. Coefficient of linear expansion a for copper is 16.0 x 10-6 K-1. IT 0.9980 cm 1.0000 cm 201 °Carrow_forward
- A bubble rises from the bottom of a lake of depth 84.9 m, where the temperature is 4.00°C. The water temperature at the surface is 18.00°C. If the bubble's initial diameter is 1.30 mm, what is its diameter when it reaches the surface? (Ignore the surface tension of water. Assume the bubble warms as it rises to the same temperature as the water and retains a spherical shape. Assume Patm = 1.00 atm.) Density of water is 1.00 x 103 kg/m3 (see Table B.5). mmarrow_forwardAn automobile tire is inflated with air originally at 10.0°C and normal atmospheric pressure. During the process, the air is compressed to 25.0% of its original volume and the temperature is increased to 35.0°C. (a) What is the pressure in the tire (absolute)? Pa (b) After the car is driven at high speed, the tire's air temperature rises to 85.0°C and the tire's interior volume increases by 2.00%. What is the new pressure in the tire (absolute)? Paarrow_forwardAn air bubble released by a remotely operated underwater vehicle, 115 m below the surface of a lake, has a volume of 1.65 cm3. The surface of the lake is at sea level, and the density of the lake water can be approximated as that of pure water. As the bubble rises to the surface, the temperature of the water and the number of air molecules in the bubble can each be approximated as constant. Find the volume (in cm3) of the bubble just before it pops at the surface of the lake.arrow_forward

- An underground gasoline tank can hold 1.16 × 10° gallons of gasoline at 52.0°F. If the tank is being filled on a day when the outdoor temperature (and the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 94.0°F, how many gallons from the truck can be poured into the tank? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 94.0°F to 52.0°F upon entering the tank. (The coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline is 9.6 x 104 (°C)~'.) gal Need Help?

One problem that scientists must take into account is volumetric expansion. Consider a 25.0 gallon metal canister of diameter 22.0 inches filled with a radioactive waste possessing a coefficient of volume expansion of 9.60 × 10-4 (*C)-!. This canister will be filled at room temperature (23.0 °C) and lowered deep into the Earth (where temperatures can reach 155 °C) for storage. If the coefficient of volume expansion of the metal is 4.10 x 10-5 (*C)-', how much waste will spill over the top if the lid becomes loose?arrow_forward
