A steel ruler (100 mm) is used for measuring the length of a block. The ambient temperature is found likely to vary in between 24 °C and 25 °C. The temperature is likely to be anywhere within these limits. The temperature variation follows square distribution, with expected value to be 24.5 °C. Determine the degree of uncertainty that will be registered when measurement is done using steel scale? CTE = 11.5 x 10-6 / °C

A balance and torque experiment is conducted with an UN-balanced ruler. Length of the ruler: 1 m Mass of the ruler: 149 g The pivot is at the 32-cm mark. A 77-g mass is located at the 24-cm mark of the ruler. We want to balance the ruler by placing another mass at the 11-cm mark. What should be magnitude of this additional mass? A balance and torque experiment is conducted with an UN-balanced ruler. Length of the ruler: 1...

You are measuring a line with a steel tape that has a standardized length equal to 100.000 feet and a weight of 2.25 lb. Three full tape lengths and one partial length were used when making the measurement, resulting in a recorded length of 389.28 ft. The tape was supported at ends only and a pull of 12 pounds was used. What is the distance after being corrected for sag? CORRECT ANSWER IS 389.82ft

The formula for length contraction gives the length of an interval on a ruler moving with velocity v relative to an observer as where L is the length of the same interval on a ruler at rest with respect to the observer. By what fraction is the length of a meter stick reduced if its velocity relative to you is measured to be 87 percent of the speed of light?

Given: A short cylinder of steel has a diameter of 150 mm and length of 500 mm. It comes out of a heat treatment process at a uniform temperature of 200oC and is plunged into an unstirred bath of oil at a temperature of 20oC. Find: Considering heat loss from only the cylindrical surface (ignore the ends), which orientation would cool more quickly? One orientation is for the axis to be parallel to gravity and the other perpendicular to...

The steel pipe (100 mm outer diameter) is covered with two layers of insulation. The 40 mm thick inner layer has a thermal conductivity of 0.07 W / (mK). Outer layer, 20 mm thick has a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W / (m K). The pipe is used to drain 500 kPa pressurized steam. The temperature on the outer insulation surface is 24 ° C. If the pipe is 8 m long, determine the following: (assuming that the conduction heat...

As part of a heat treatment process, cylindrical, 304 stainless steel rods of 100-mm diameter are cooled from an initial temperature of 500ºC by suspending them in an oil bath at 25ºC. If a convection coefficient of 500 W/m2·K is maintained by circulation of the oil, how long does it take for the centerline of a rod to reach a temperature of 52ºC, at which point it is withdrawn from the bath? If 9 rods of length 1 m are...
