Problem Solving: Clearly present your solutions in the space provided in every
problem:
Thermal Properties
1. To what temperature would 15 lbm of a brass specimen at 20 oC be raised if 65 Btu of
heat is supplied?
2. A copper wire 15 m (49.2 ft) long is cooled from 40 to -9oC (104 to 15oF). How much
change in length will it experience?
3. (a) Calculate the heat flux through a sheet of brass 7.5 mm (0.30 in.) thick if the
temperatures at the two faces are 150 and 50oC; assume steady-state heat flow.
(b)What is the heat loss per hour if the area of the sheet is 0.5 m2? (c)What will be the
heat loss per hour if soda–lime glass instead of brass is used? (d) Calculate the heat loss
per hour if brass is used and the thickness is increased to 15 mm (0.59 in.).
4. A steel wire is stretched with a stress of 70 MPa (10,000 psi) at 20oC. If the length is held
constant, to what temperature must the wire be heated to reduce the stress to 17 MPa
(2500 psi)?
Mechanical Properties
1. A tensile-testing apparatus is to be constructed that must withstand a maximum load of
300,000 N (67,500 lb). The design calls for two cylindrical support posts, each of which is
to support half of the maximum load. Furthermore, alloy steel is to be used, with
minimum yield and tensile strengths of 400 MPa (58, 000 psi) and 700 MPa (102,000
psi), respectively. Specify a suitable diameter for these support posts.
2. A tensile test was conducted on a single steel specimen, and the following tensile
strengths (in MPa) were measured from five repeated steps: 420, 400, 410, 415, 405
(a) Calculate the average tensile strength of steel specimen.
(b) Calculate the standard deviation of the tensile strengths.
3. The following true stresses produce the corresponding true plastic strains for a brass
alloy:
What true stress is necessary to produce a true plastic strain of 0.21?

Optical Properties
1. Compute the velocity of light in diamond, which has a dielectric constant є of 5.5 (at
frequencies within the visible range) and a magnetic susceptibility of -2.17 x 10-5.
2. The transmissivity T of a transparent material 15 mm thick to normally incident light is
0.80. If the index of refraction of this material is 1.5, compute the thickness of material
that will yield a transmissivity of 0.70. All reflection losses should be considered.
3. The fraction of non-reflected radiation that is transmitted through a 5-mm thickness of a
transparent material is 0.95. If the thickness is increased to 12 mm, what fraction of light
will be transmitted?
