Thermal Properties of Matter Questions and Answers

11.1 We would like to prepare a scale whose length does not change with temperature. It is proposed to prepare a unit scale of this type whose length remains, say 10 cm. We can use a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length whose length (both components) would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remain constant. If 5 αiron =1.2 × 10-5/K and αbrass 1.8 × 10-5 /K , what should we take as length of each strip?

Explanation- As liron-lbrass =10cm= constant at all temperature

Let lo be the length of temperature at 00C  and l be the length after change in temperature

liron-lbrass =10cm

liron(1+ α i r o n t )-lbrass(1+ α b r a s s t )=10cm

Iiron α iron= Ibrass α brass

l i r o n l b r a s s =1.8/1.2=3/2

1 2 l b r a s s = 10 c m

Lbrass=20cm and liron=30cm

11.2 We would like to make a vessel whose volume does not change with temperature (take a hint from the problem above). We can use brass and iron ( βvbrass = 6 × 10-5/K and βviron = 3.55 ×10-5/ K) to create a volume of 100 cc. How do you think you can achieve this.

Explanation- As difference in volume is constant

By considering the diagram

Let Vio , Vbo be the volume of iron and brass vessel at 00C

Vi,Vb be the volume of iron and brass vessel at θ 0C

γ i , γ b be the coefficient of volume expansion of iron and brass.

Vio -Vbo= 100cc= Vi-Vb

Vi =Vio(1+ γ i θ )

Vb =Vbo(1+ γ b θ )

Vi-Vb = (Vio -Vbo)+ θ V i o γ i - V b o γ b

Since Vi-Vb= constant

Vio γ i= Vbo γ b

V i o V b 0 = γ b γ i = 3 2 β b 3 2 β i = β b β i = 6 × 10 - 5 3.55 × 10 - 5 = 6 3.55

Using above equations

V i o = 244.9 c c

Vbo = 144.9cc

11.3 Calculate the stress developed inside a tooth cavity filled with copper when hot tea at temperature of 57 0C is drunk. You can take body (tooth) temperature to be 370 C and

α = 1.7× 10-5 / 0C , bulk modulus for copper = 140 × 109 N/m2.

Explanation- Decrease in temperature t = 57-37= 200C

Coefficient of linear expansion α = 1.7 × 10 - 5 / oC

Bulk modulus for copper B = 140 × 10 9 N / m 2

Coefficient of cubical expansion γ = 3 α = 5.1 × 10 - 5 / ° C

Let initial volume of the cavity be V and its volume increases by V  due to increase in temperature.

V = γ V t

V V = γ t

Thermal stress produced = B × v o l u m e t r i c s t r a i n

= B × V V = B γ t

= 140 × 10 9 × 5.1 × 10 - 5 × 20

= 1428 × 10 8 N / m 2

11.4 A rail track made of steel having length 10 m is clamped on a railway line at its two ends (Fig). On a summer day due to rise in temperature by 20° C , it is deformed as shown in figure. Find x (displacement of the centre) if αsteel = 1.2× 10-5 /°C.

Explanation- By applying Pythagoras theorem in given figure

L + L 2 2 = L 2 2 + x 2

x= L + L 2 2 - L 2 2

=1/2 ( L + L ) 2 - L 2

= ½ L 2 + L 2 + 2 L L - L 2

=1/2 L 2 + 2 L L

As Increase in L  is very small so we neglect it

=1/2 × 2 L

L = L α t

By using this value in above in equation

x=1/2 × 2 L × L α T = ½ L 2 α t

= 10 2 × 2 × 1.2 × 10 - 5 × 20

= 5 × 4 × 1.2 × 10 - 4

= 5 × 2 × 1.1 × 10 - 2 = 0.11 = 11 c m

As liron-lbrass =10cm= constant at all temperature

Let lo be the length of temperature at 00C  and l be the length after change in temperature

liron-lbrass =10cm

liron (1+ α i r o n ? t )-lbrass (1+ α b r a s s ? t )=10cm

Iiron α iron= Ibrass α brass

l i r o n l b r a s s =1.8/1.2=3/2

1 2 l b r a s s = 10 c m

Lbrass=20cm and liron=30cm

As difference in volume is constant

By considering the diagram

Let Vio , Vbo be the volume of iron and brass vessel at 00C

Vi,Vb be the volume of iron and brass vessel at ? θ 0C

γ i , γ b be the coefficient of volume expansion of iron and brass.

Vio -Vbo= 100cc= Vi-Vb

Vi =Vio(1+ γ i ? θ )

Vb =Vbo(1+ γ b ? θ )

Vi-Vb = (Vio -Vbo)+ ? θ V i o γ i - V b o γ b

Since Vi-Vb= constant

Vio γ i= Vbo γ b

V i o V b 0 = γ b γ i = 3 2 β b 3 2 β i = β b β i = 6 × 10 - 5 3.55 × 10 - 5 = 6 3.55

Using above equations

V i o = 244.9 c c

Vbo = 144.9cc

By applying Pythagoras theorem in given figure

L + ? L 2 2 = L 2 2 + x 2

x= L + ? L 2 2 - L 2 2

=1/2 ( L + ? L ) 2 - L 2

= ½ L 2 + ? L 2 + 2 L ? L - L 2

=1/2 ? L 2 + 2 L ? L

As Increase in ? L  is very small so we neglect it

=1/2 × 2 ? L

? L = L α ? t

By using this value in above in equation

x=1/2 × 2 L × L α ? T = ½ L 2 α ? t

= 10 2 × 2 × 1.2 × 10 - 5 × 20

= 5 × 4 × 1.2 × 10 - 4

Consider the diagram

Θ= θ1+ θ2/2

Let temperature varies linearly in the rod from its one end to other end, let θ be the temperature of the midpoint of the rod. At steady state

Rate of flow of heat,

dQ/dt = K A ( θ 1 - θ ) L o 2 = K A θ - θ 2 L o 2

where k is the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the rod

so θ1- θ= θ- θ2

θ= θ1+ θ2/2

L=L0 (1+ α θ )

L= Lo (1+ α θ 1 + θ 2 2 )

Q:  

Find out the increase in moment of inertia I of a uniform rod (coefficient of linear expansion α ) about its perpendicular bisector when its temperature is slightly increased by ?T.

Read more
A: 

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Let the mass and length of a uniform rod be M and l respectively.

Moment of inertia of the rod about its perpendicular bisector I= ml2/12

Increase in length of the rod when temperature is increased by ? T is given by

? l = l α ? T

So new moment of inertia of the rod = M 12 ( l + ? l ) 2 = M 12 l 2 + ? l 2 + 2 l ? l

As change in length ? l  is very small therefore neglecting ? l 2  so we  get

I’= M 12 l 2 + 2 l ? l = l+mI ? l 6

Increase in moment of inertia = M l ? l 6 = 2 × ( m l 2 12 ) 1 ? l l = 2 I α ? T

Q:  

During summers in India, one of the common practice to keep cool is to make ice balls of crushed ice, dip it in flavoured sugar syrup and sip it. For this a stick is inserted into crushed ice and is squeezed in the palm to make it into the ball. Equivalently in winter, in those areas where it snows, people make snow balls and throw around. Explain the formation of ball out of crushed ice or snow in the light of P–T diagram of water.

Q:  

One day in the morning, Ramesh filled up 1/3 bucket of hot water from geyser, to take bath. Remaining 2/3 was to be filled by cold water (at room temperature) to bring mixture to a comfortable temperature. Suddenly Ramesh had to attend to something which would take some times, say 5-10 minutes before he could take bath. Now he had two options:

(i) Fill the remaining bucket completely by cold water and then attend to the work,

(ii) First attend to the work and fill the remaining bucket just before taking bath. Which option do you think would have kept water warmer ? Explain

Read more
A: 

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

The first option kept water warmer because according to newton's law of cooling the rate of loss of heat is directly proportional to the difference of temperature of the body and the surroundings and in the first case temperature difference is less. So rate of loss of heat will be less.
