Thermal expansion of a copper cylinder

AI Thread Summary
To determine the temperature at which a copper cylinder's volume increases by 0.150% from an initial temperature of 20.0 degrees Celsius, the equation delta v = Beta vo (delta T) is used. The user calculated the temperature to be 49.41 degrees Celsius by manipulating the equation to find beta. Another participant confirmed the calculation, stating that it is correct. The discussion focuses on the application of thermal expansion principles to solve the problem. Overall, the approach and answer provided are validated by peers in the forum.

Homework Statement



A copper cylinder is initially at 20.0 degrees c At what temperature will its volume be 0.150 % larger than it is at 20.0 degrees c

Homework Equations


delta v = Beta vo (delta T)
dv= beta vo dt

The Attempt at a Solution



ive found an answer of 49.41 degrees c

I believe its from manipulating the second equation to
beta = dv / (vo dt)

does this seem right?
any help here would be great thanks in advance

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
