1) A cylindrical copper rod of length 2 m and cross-sectional area of 5 cm^2 is insulated to prevent heat loss through its surface. The ends are maintained at a temperature difference of 100 C by having one end in a water-ice mixture and the other in a boiling water/steam mixture. If you initially have 10 g of ice on the one end and lots of steam on the other, how long does it take to melt the ice? 2)...

consider a spring with mass m=1g in Earth's gravitational field (ie on Earth). Suppose that when the spring has an end to end length of x, the spring exerts a force given by F(x)=-k(x-x0), when k=10N/cm is the spring constant and x0=1.0cm is the spring's equilibrium length. Note that F<0 when x>x0 is a restoring force pulling in, while f>0 when x<x0 is a restoring force pushing out. Suppose that the spring also has a well-defined temperature T. A) what...
