    Thermal expansion of lead sphere

    ok thanks guys i have sovled that one, BUT i have another question. how do you work out the relative proportions of an alloy if you are given the co-efficient of that alloy? cheers C.

    Thermal expansion of lead sphere

    ok, so L_L= diameter of lead at new temp L_S= diatmeter of steel at new temp at 70^oC L_o_L=1.0005L_o_S so at the new temp, L_S=L_o_S+ \Delta L_S =L_o_S+ \alpha_SL_o_S \Delta T and L_L=L_o_L+ \Delta L_L =L_o_L+ \alpha_LL_o_L \Delta T and we want L_S=L_L so...

    Thermal expansion of lead sphere

    OK, I have tried, but my maths is not very good. Can you give me a hint please? So far I have got the same point but I am not sure how to work the equations. Thanks

    Thermal expansion of lead sphere

    Hi guys and girls, I've been going thorugh some problems in cutnell & johnson on heat and temperature and I have become stuck on this question. Can anybody help with this? Its from Cutnell and Johnson 5th p375 Q18*. A lead sphere has a diatmeter that is 0.05% larger than the inner diameter...
