Two concrete spans that form a bridge of length L are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P16.63a). If a temperature increase of T occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Fig. P16.63b)?
An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)

(a) The two gases haw different temperatures. (b) The temperature of cylinder B is less than the temperature of cylinder A. (c) The temperature of cylinder B is greater than the temperature of cylinder A.

A 40.0-g projectile is launched by the expansion of hot gas in an arrangement shown in Figure P12.4a. The cross sectional area of the launch tube is 1.0 cm2, and the length that the projectile travels down the tube after starting from rest is 52 cm. As the gas expands, the pressure varies as shown in Figure P12.4b. The values for the initial pressure and volume are P1 = 11 105 Pa and Vi = 8.0 cm3 while the final values are Pf = 1.0 105 Pa and Vf = 8.0 cm3. Friction between the projectile and the launch tube is negligible, (a) If the projectile is launched into a vacuum, what is the speed of the projectile as it leaves the launch tube? (b) If instead the projectile is launched into air at a pressure of 1.0 105 Pa. what fraction of the work done by the expanding gas in the tube is spent by the projectile pushing air out of the way as it proceeds down tile tube?
