    Solving Mass Collapse Problem: Total Time & Homogeneity

    Consider a ball of dust mass M, Radius R stats from rest and collapses due to gravity. Q. Find total time of collapse. This I am currently working on I believe I can show this using conservation of momentum. Q. Prove that it remains homogeneous Dose anyone have any ideas on this one, I...

    How much heat is transferred during the compression?

    I talked to my Professor today and he informed me that the answer in the book was indeed incorrect. This is not the first time and probably won't be the last error i find. the text i am using is Heat And Thermodynamics by Zemansky and Dittman which is full of errors in the seventh edition...

    How much heat is transferred during the compression?

    Ok I asked my self and I replied the temperature is holding at 298K. What r u getting at? In order for the temp to stay the same heat must leave during compression. Precisely how much is the question being asked.

    How much heat is transferred during the compression?

    Would Someone check my work please? Here is the question. The pressure on 500g of copper is increased reversibly and isothermally from 0 to 5000atm. Where density = 8.96X10^3kg/m^3 Volume Expansivity = 49.5X10^-6K^-1 isothermal compressibility = 6.18X10^-12Pa^-1 specific heat = 385...
