Problem 6. In space, thermal equilibrium is achieved when incoming radiation (e.g. from the Sun) is balanced against outgoing radiation (e.g. from the surface of Earth). The equilibrium achieved is a dynamic one, because there is still a net flow of heat in and out of the system, and the Sun and Earth never reach the same temperature (thankfully) because much of the radiation leaves the system.

(a) The Sun provides a heat to the surface of Earth with an intensity (power per unit area) of about 1000 W/m2 . Compute the total power received. (Hint: The correct area to use is the cross-sectional area of the Earth, because that is the size of the ‘shadow’ of solar radiation that is absorbed.) (In reality, about 1400 W/m2 reaches Earth and about 30% is reflected.)

(b) Suppose the Earth is a perfect black-body absorber and emitter of radiation, and has a uniform surface temperature. (This is not a great assumption.) Find the equilibrium temperature T of the surface in Kelvin and in Celsius, where Earth radiates exactly as much power as it receives from the Sun. Is it anywhere close to Earth’s average surface temperature?

(c) In fact, Earth’s atmosphere is not transparent to the outgoing radiation, which makes the emissivity of Earth imperfect. The result is a delicate balance that preserves a life-friendly temperature. What emissivity e is required to achieve the current 15◦C average surface temperature? What emissivity e would cause the temperature to rise by 2◦C? This is a vastly oversimplified model of Earth’s climate. More accurate models include multiple coupled layers with independent temperatures and emissivities; these models can fairly accurately predict the surface temperature as a function of greenhouse gas emissions (which determine the emissivity of the atmosphere). The net effect of adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is to reduce the amount of infrared emission at a given temperature, lowering e and raising the temperature.

Problem 1. Calculate the average speed of nitrogen molecules (N2) in air at room temperature (∼ 300 K). Compare to the speed of sound, which is about 343 m/s at the same temperature. Speculate on why they might be similar.

Suppose that the dipole moment associated with an iron atom of an iron bar is 1.7 × 10^-23 J/T.

(b) What torque must be exerted to hold this magnet perpendicular to an external field of 2.0 T? (The density of iron is 7.9 g/cm³ and its molar mass is 55.9 g/mol.)

A mass weighing 12lb stretches a spring 10in.. The mass is attached to a viscous damper with damping constant 3lb*s/ft. The mass is pushed upward, contracting the spring a distance of 2in, and then set into motion with a downward velocity of 4in/s. Determine the position of the mass at any time . Use as 32ft/s^2the acceleration due to gravity. Pay close attention to the units.
