Radiation Rate of 0.1m Cube Metal at 200C

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the radiation rate of a 0.1m cube of metal with an emissivity of 0.75 at 200°C, the formula H=AeσT^4 is used, where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. The area of one face of the cube is 0.01 m², and since a cube has six faces, the total area is 0.06 m². Converting 200°C to Kelvin gives 473K, and substituting these values into the formula results in a radiation rate of 128W, correcting the initial miscalculation of 21.28W. Proper unit conversion and consideration of the cube's total surface area are crucial for accurate results.

Homework Statement


At what rate does a 0.1m cube of metal with emissivity e=0.75 radiate energy if it is at a temperature of 200C?

Homework Equations



H=AeσT^4, σ=5.67 x10^-8

The Attempt at a Solution


I found the area of the cute to be A=(0.1m)^2=0.01m, and the turned 200C into 473K, but when I type them all in I get 21.28W and the answer is 128W?

How many faces does a cube have?
 
6.. thanks!
 
Also, (0.1 m)2 = 0.01 m2 Don't forget to square the units.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
