a) Suppose a bimetallic strip is constructed of copper and steel strips of thickness \(1.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) and length \(25 \mathrm{~mm},\) and the temperature of the strip is reduced by \(5.0 \mathrm{~K}\). Determine the radius of curvature of the cooled strip (the radius of curvature of the interface between the two strips). b) If the strip is \(25 \mathrm{~mm}\) long, how far is the maximum deviation of the strip from the straight orientation?
In a pickup basketball game, your friend cracked one of his teeth in a collision with another player while attempting to make a basket. To correct the problem, his dentist placed a steel band of initial internal diameter \(4.4 \mathrm{~mm},\) and a crosssectional area of width \(3.5 \mathrm{~mm},\) and thickness \(0.45 \mathrm{~mm}\) on the tooth. Before placing the band on the tooth, he heated the band to \(70 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What will be the tension in the band once it cools down to the temperature in your friend's mouth \(\left(37^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right) ?\)
The Rankine temperature scale is an absolute temperature scale that uses Fahrenheit degrees; that is, temperatures are measured in Fahrenheit degrees, starting at absolute zero. Find the relationships between temperature values on the Rankine scale and those on the Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Celsius scales.
Explain why it might be difficult to weld aluminum to steel or to weld any two unlike metals together.
Two mercury-expansion thermometers have identical reservoirs and cylindrical tubes made of the same glass but of different diameters. Which of the two thermometers can be graduated to a better resolution? a) The thermometer with the smaller diameter tube will have better resolution. b) The thermometer with the larger diameter tube will have better resolution. c) The diameter of the tube is irrelevant; it is only the volume expansion coefficient of mercury that matters. d) Not enough information is given to tell.
