Explain what is the specific heat of aluminum

Reference no: EM13297011

An 18.50g sample of aluminum is heated to 99.9 degrees C in a hot water bath until thermal equilibrium is reached. The aluminum sample is quickly transferred to 50.0mL of water at 23.8 degrees C contained in a calorimeter. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the temperature of the aluminum sample plus water mixture is 29.4 degrees C. What is the specific heat of aluminum?

Find shear stress on each bolt and bearing stress on the bar : Due to an error, the length L shown was 1.795 m instead of 1.80 m, thus there is a gap of 0.5 cm, which makes it difficult to bolt the bar on the structure. The engineer suggests the bar is heated up by - Delta in order to close the gap.
