Thermal Expansion Numericals -II

(b) An increase in teperature makes the pendulum slow and hence clock loses time.


Hard

H1. A copper and a tungsten plate having a thickness

 

= 2mm each are riveted together so that at 00

 

C they from a flat bimetallic plate. Find the average radins of the curvature of this plate at t = 2000C. The coefficient of linear expansion for copper and tungsten are

 

cu= 1.7 X 10-5/ Kw  = 0.4 X 10-5 / K.

 

Solution:-

 

 

Av. length of copper plate

lc = lo(1 +cT)lt = lo(1 +tT)[Tungsten]

lt   =(R +/2)

 

lt  =(R -/2)


R = 0.769 m

 

H2. At 00C , three metal rods from an equilateral triangle. Two rods are of the same materials but the third is made of invar (length of invar do not change with temperature). When the triangle is heated upto 1000

 

C , the angle formed between the metal of the sance materials is ( /3 -). Find the coefficient of linear expansion of the rod, materials (

 

small).

 

Solution:
