Two students each build a piece of scientific equipment that uses a 655 mm-long metal rod. One student uses a brass rod, the other an invar rod. If the temperature increases by 5.0C, how much more does the brass rod expand than the invar rod?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The answer is5.92710-2mm

Step by step solution

01

Description 

Two students each build a piece of scientific equipment that

uses a 655-mm-long metal rod.

The process of thermal expansion occurs when objects are heated as well as expanded. In case the temperature of an object changes throughT, as well as length changes through Land the length's fractional changes L/Lare effective to the temperature's changeT.

02

Result of the rod expansion 

The equation (18.8) in the form is

LL=T(1)

In this case, is the coefficient. Table 18.4 effectively gives the coefficient expression of linear for common materials, for instance

=1.210-5C-1

The equation for Lis

L=LT(2)

In this case, L is the initial length. The temperature effectively changes through T=5Cfor brass brass=1.910-5C-1

For Brass, plug the values of brass,L,Tinto equation (2) in order to get Lbrass

Lbrass=brassLT=(1.910-5C-1)(655mm)(5C)=0.06222mm

plug the values of L,T,invar into equation (2) in order to get Linvar

role="math" localid="1649070713758" Linvar=invarLT=(0.0910-5C-1)(655mm)(5C)=0.00295mm

The calculation depicted the brass changes through a larger value of invar and the difference is

role="math" localid="1649070956077" L=Lbrass-Linvar=0.06222mm-0.00295mm=0.05927mm=5.92710-2mm

Therefore, the answer is5.92710-2mm
