Noting the large stresses that can be caused by thermal expansion, an amateur weapon inventor decides to use it to make a new kind of gun. He plans to jam a bullet against an aluminum rod inside a closed invar tube. When he heats the tube, the rod will expand more than the tube and a verystrong force will build up. Then, by a method yet to be determined, he will open the tube in a split second and let the force of the rod launch the bullet at very high speed. What is he overlooking?
A2] The figure shows a copper disk of radius r and thickness r, with a hole
through its centre of radius a:
Find an expression for the volume of the copper.
b) Find an expression for the increase in temperature of the copper AT if it
is supplied with an amount of heat Q at constant pressure. The density and specific
heat (heat capacity per unit mass) of copper at constant pressure are PCu and ccu
respectively. (You should treat these quantities as constants even though thermal
expansion will slightly reduce the density, for example).
c)

expansion of copper is aCu-
