Chapter 8, Problem 8.10P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

1. The final temperature of the disk pads for the Toyota Camry should be calculated.
2. The final temperature of the disk pads for the Cadillac Escalade should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Calculate the change in temperature as,

$\Delta T=\frac{m{v}^2}{m_t{C}_p}$

Where, m = mass, Cp = heat capacity and v = speed

Calculate the final temperature as,

$T=T_i+\Delta T$

Ti = initial temperature

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason for brake pads to be no longer made of asbestos should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Calculate the change in temperature as,

$\Delta T=\frac{m{v}^2}{m_t{C}_p}$
