A hole is drilled in a copper sheet. The diameter of the hole is $4.24\; cm$ at $27.0\,^{\circ} C$ What is the change in the diameter of the hole when the sheet is heated to $227\,^{\circ} C ?$ Coefficient of linear expansion of copper $=1.70 \times 10^{-5}\; K ^{-1}$
Initial temperature, $T_{1}=27.0^{\circ} C$
Diameter of the hole at $T_{1}, d_{1}=4.24 cm$
Final temperature, $T_{2}=227^{\circ} C$
Diameter of the hole at $T_{2}=d_{2}$
Co-efficient of linear expansion of copper, $\alpha cu =1.70 \times 10^{-5} K ^{-1}$
For co-efficient of superficial expansion $\beta$, and change in temperature $\Delta T$, we have the relation:
$\frac{\text { Change in area }(\Delta A)}{\text { Original area }(A)}=\beta \Delta T$
$\frac{\left(\pi \frac{d_{2}^{2}}{4}-\pi \frac{d_{1}^{2}}{4}\right)}{\left(\pi \frac{d_{1}^{2}}{4}\right)}=\frac{\Delta A}{A}$
$\therefore \frac{\Delta A}{A}=\frac{d_{2}^{2}-d_{1}^{2}}{d_{1}^{2}}$
But $\beta=2 \alpha$
$\therefore \frac{d_{2}^{2}-d_{1}^{2}}{d_{1}^{2}}=2 \alpha \Delta T$
$\frac{d_{2}^{2}}{d_{1}^{2}}-1=2 \alpha\left(T_{2}-T_{1}\right)$
$\frac{d_{2}^{2}}{(4.24)^{2}}=2 \times 1.7 \times 10^{-5}(227-27)+1$
$d_{2}^{2}=17.98 \times 1.0068=18.1$
$\therefore d_{2}=4.2544 cm$
Change in diameter $=d_{2}-d_{1}=4.2544-4.24=0.0144 cm$
Hence, the diameter increases by $1.44 \times 10^{-2}\; cm .$
A pendulum clock (fitted with a small heavy bob that is connected with a metal rod) is $5\, seconds$ fast each day at a temperature of $15\,^oC$ and $10\,seconds$ slow at a temperature of $30\,^oC$. The temperature at which it is designed to give correct time, is ........ $^oC$
A solid cube is first floating in a liquid. The coefficient of linear expansion of cube is $\alpha$ and the coefficient of volume expansion of liquid is $\gamma$. On increasing the temperature of (liquid + cube) system, the cube will sink if
A metal ball immersed in alcohol weighs ${W_1}$ at $0°C$ and ${W_2}$ at $59°C.$ The coefficient of cubical expansion of the metal is less than that of alcohol. Assuming that the density of metal is large compared to that of alcohol, it can be shown that
