Tutorial III May 9, 2018

This document contains 8 physics problems related to thermodynamics: 1. Calculate the temperature 0°C in Rankine scale. 2. Estimate the pressure at (a) 300K and (b) when the pressure is 25mmHg using data from a constant-volume gas thermometer. 3. Calculate the change in water level when the temperature of a steel ball in a glass beaker containing water rises from 5°C to 90°C. This summarizes the key information and questions asked in the first 4 problems in 3 sentences.

1. Some engineers find it convenient to use the Rankine scale, in which absolute zero is 0
o o
R and the degree intervals are those of the Fahrenheit scale. What is 0 C on the Rankine
scale?

2. In a constant-volume gas thermometer the pressure in the bulb at the triple point
of water is 40 mm Hg. Estimate: (a) the pressure at 300 K; (b) the temperature when the
pressure is 25 mm Hg.

3. A steel ball of radius 1.2 cm is in a cylindrical glass beaker of radius 1.5 cm that
o
contains 20 mL of water at 5 C. What is the change in the water level when the temperature
o
rises to 90 C?

4. A steel rod is 3.000 cm in diameter at 25 C. A brass ring has internal diameter of
o
2.992 cm at 25 C. At what temperature will the ring just slide onto the rod?

5. A steel rod of radius 3 cm, whose ends are fixed, is subject to a tensile load of 15 kN.
o o
What is the stress if the temperature (a) falls by 10 C; rises by 10 C?

o
6. How much heat is needed to convert 90 g of ice initially at -10 C to 60 g of water
o
and 30 g of steam at 100 C?

7. A liquid takes 6 minutes to cool from 80 C to 40 C. How much time will it take to
o o o
cool from 60 C to 30 C. The temperature of the surrounding is 20 C.

8. The equation of state can be solved for any of the coordinates in terms of the other
