Consider a steel guitar string of initial length L=1.00L=1.00 meter and cross-sectional area A=0.500A=0.500 square millimeters. The Young's modulus of the steel is Y=2.0×1011Y=2.0×1011 pascals. How far ( ΔLΔLDelta L) would such a string stretch under a tension of 1500 newtons?

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

He viscosities of several liquids are being compared. all the liquids are poured down a slope with equal path lengths. the liquid with the highest viscosity will

Ahuge (essentially infinite) horizontal nonconducting sheet 10.0 cm thick has charge uniformly spread over both faces. the upper face carries +95.0 nc/m2 while the lower face carries -25.0 nc/ m2. what is the magnitude of the electric field at a point within the sheet 2.00 cm below the upper face? (ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 c2/n · m2)
