Your father and your younger brother are confronted with the same puzzle. Your fathers garden sprayer and your brothers water cannon both have tanks with a capacity of 5.00 L (Fig. P19.28). Your father puts a negligible amount of concentrated fertilizer into his tank. They both pour in 4.00 L of water and seal up their tanks, so the tanks also contain air at atmospheric pressure. Next, each uses a hand-operated pump to inject more air until the absolute pressure in the tank reaches 2.40 atm. Now each uses his device to spray out waternot airuntil the stream becomes feeble, which it does when the pressure in the tank reaches 1.20 atm. To accomplish spraying out all the water, each finds he must pump up the tank three times. Here is the puzzle: most of the water sprays out after the second pumping. The first and the third pumpingup processes seem just as difficult as the second but result in a much smaller amount of water coming out. Account for this phenomenon.

Why is the following situation impossible? An apparatus is designed so that steam initially at T 5 1508C, P 5 1.00 atm, and V 5 0.500 m3 in a pistoncylinder apparatus undergoes a process in which (1) the volume remains constant and the pressure drops to 0.870 atm, followed by (2) an expansion in which the pressure remains constant and the volume increases to 1.00 m3, followed by (3) a return to the initial conditions. It is important that the pressure of the gas never fall below 0.850 atm so that the piston will support a delicate and very expensive part of the apparatus. Without such support, the delicate apparatus can be severely damaged and rendered useless. When the design is turned into a working prototype, it operates perfectly.

A cylinder is closed by a piston connected to a spring of constant 2.00 3 103 N/m (see Fig. P19.74). With the spring relaxed, the cylinder is filled with 5.00 L of gas at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 20.08C. (a) If the piston has a cross-sectional area of 0.010 0 m2 and negligible mass, how high will it rise when the temperature is raised to 2508C? (b) What is the pressure of the gas at 2508C?

Helium gas is sold in steel tanks that will rupture if subjected to tensile stress greater than its yield strength of 5 3 108 N/m2. If the helium is used to inflate a balloon, could the balloon lift the spherical tank the helium came in? Justify your answer. Suggestion: You may consider a spherical steel shell of radius r and thickness t having the density of iron and on the verge of breaking apart into two hemispheres because it contains helium at high pressure.

A cylinder that has a 40.0-cm radius and is 50.0 cm deep is filled with air at 20.08C and 1.00 atm (Fig. P19.76a). A 20.0-kg piston is now lowered into the cylinder, compressing the air trapped inside as it takes equilibrium height hi (Fig. P19.76b). Finally, a 25.0-kg dog stands on the piston, further compressing the air, which remains at 208C (Fig. P19.76c). (a) How far down (Dh) does the piston move when the dog steps onto it? (b) To what temperature should the gas be warmed to raise the piston and dog back to hi?

The relationship L 5 Li 1 aLi DT is a valid approximation when a DT is small. If a DT is large, one must integrate the relationship dL 5 aL dT to determine the final length. (a) Assuming the coefficient of linear expansion of a material is constant as L varies, determine a general expression for the final length of a rod made of the material. Given a rod of length 1.00 m and a temperature change of 100.08C, determine the error caused by the approximation when (b) a 5 2.00 3 1025 (8C)21 (a typical value for a metal) and (c) when a 5 0.020 0 (8C)21 (an unrealistically large value for comparison). (d) Using the equation from part (a), solve Problem 21 again to find more accurate results.

Review. A house roof is a perfectly flat plane that makes an angle u with the horizontal. When its temperature changes, between Tc before dawn each day and Th in the middle of each afternoon, the roof expands and contracts uniformly with a coefficient of thermal expansion a1. Resting on the roof is a flat, rectangular metal plate with expansion coefficient a2, greater than a1. The length of the plate is L, measured along the slope of the roof. The component of the plates weight perpendicular to the roof is supported by a normal force uniformly distributed over the area of the plate. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the plate and the roof is mk. The plate is always at the same temperature as the roof, so we assume its temperature is continuously changing. Because of the difference in expansion coefficients, each bit of the plate is moving relative to the roof below it, except for points along a certain horizontal line running across the plate called the stationary line. If the temperature is rising, parts relative to the roof and feel a force of kinetic friction acting up the roof. Elements of area above the stationary line are sliding up the roof, and on them kinetic friction acts downward parallel to the roof. The stationary line occupies no area, so we assume no force of static friction acts on the plate while the temperature is changing. The plate as a whole is very nearly in equilibrium, so the net friction force on it must be equal to the component of its weight acting down the incline. (a) Prove that the stationary line is at a distance of L 2 a1 2 tan u mk b below the top edge of the plate. (b) Analyze the forces that act on the plate when the temperature is falling and prove that the stationary line is at that same distance above the bottom edge of the plate. (c) Show that the plate steps down the roof like an inchworm, moving each day by the distance L mk 1a2 2 a1 2 1Th 2 Tc 2 tan u (d) Evaluate the distance an aluminum plate moves each day if its length is 1.20 m, the temperature cycles between 4.008C and 36.08C, and if the roof has slope 18.5, coefficient of linear expansion 1.50 3 1025 (8C)21, and coefficient of friction 0.420 with the plate. (e) What If? What if the expansion coefficient of the plate is less than that of the roof? Will the plate creep up the roof?

A 1.00-km steel railroad rail is fastened securely at both ends when the temperature is 20.08C. As the temperature increases, the rail buckles, taking the shape of an arc of a vertical circle. Find the height h of the center of the rail when the temperature is 25.08C. (You will need to solve a transcendental equation.)
