An ice “calorimeter” can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal. A piece of hot metal is dropped onto a weighed quantity of ice. The energy transferred from the metal to the ice can be determined from the amount of ice melted. Suppose you heat a 9.36-g piece of platinum to 98.6 °C in a boiling water bath and then drop it onto ice at 0.0 °C. When the temperature of the metal...

A new set of fiber-reinforced composite is designed to support the body function. Compute the longitudinal tensile strength of this fiber–epoxy matrix biocomposite in which the average fiber diameter and length are 0.018 mm and 2.2 mm, respectively, and the volume fraction of fibers is 0.35. Assume that the fiber–matrix bond strength is 122 MPa, the fracture strength of the fibers is 3800 MPa, and the matrix stress at composite failure is 5.9 MPa.
