Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The difference between the two lengths are constant if the length LA and LB is constant. The coefficient of linear expansions are αA and αB .

Write expression for change in length.

  ΔL=LBLA

Write expression for linear expansion.

  ΔL=(LB+αBLBΔT)(LA+αALAΔT)

Solve above expression.

  ΔL=(LBLA)+(αBLBαALA)ΔT

Substitute ΔL for LBLA in above expression and solve.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The material A is brass.

The material B is steel.

The value of LA is 250cm .

Formula used:

Write expression for change in length.

  ΔL=LBLA

Write expression for linear expansion.

  ΔL=(LB+αBLBΔT)(LA+αALAΔT)

Solve above expression.

  ΔL=(LBLA)+(αBLBαALA)ΔT

Substitute ΔL for LBLA in above expression and solve.

  ΔL=ΔL+(αBLBαALA)ΔT0=(αBLBαALA)ΔT0=(αBLBαALA)

Solve above expression.

  LALB=αBαA   ..... (1)

Calculation:

Substitute 250cm for LA , 19×106K-1 for αA and 11×106K-1 for αB in equation (1).

  250cmLB=11× 10 6K -119× 10 6K -1LB=430cm

Conclusion:

Thus, the value of LB is 430cm .

The moment of inertia I of a uniform rod rotating around its center point is I = 1/12ml^2 where m is the mass of the rod and l is its length. (A) Derive an expression for the change in the moment of inertia for such a rod, ΔI, that includes the initial moment of inertia I0, the coefficient of linear expansion  for the rod material, and a temperature change ΔT. (B) A uniform rod of mass 0.500 kg and length 1.000 m at T = 0 °C rotates around its center in free fall (e.g., floating in a space station) at an angular velocity of exactly 1 radian per second. If it is warmed to 30 °C and = 20 × 10  −6 °C−1, what would its angular velocity be? Use conservation of angular momentum.
A student foolishly attempts to stop a steel bar, of length L = 1 m and at a temperature of 20ºC, from thermally expanding by attaching it to a wooden support with a nail at each end. Steel's Young's modulus is Y = 2.7 × 1011 N/m2 and it's linear thermal expansion coefficient is α = 12.9 × 10-6 1/C. Randomized Variables Y = 2.7 × 1011 N/m2α = 12.9 × 10-6 1/C a. Enter an expression, in terms of defined variables, for the stress, S, that each nail will need to sustain at a temperature Ts.

Enter an expression, in terms of defined variables, for the stress, S, that each nail will need to sustain at a temperature Ts.  b.  What is the value of the stress, in pascals, that develops due to a rise of temperature to 21ºC?  c. Assuming the nails have a cross-sectional area of A = 10-5 m2 all of which is perpendicular to the stress force from the bar, what is the force acting on each due to that temperature rise?
