Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Temperature, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 42
A 20.0 g copper ring at 0.000°C has an inner diameter of \(D = 2.54000\text{ cm}\). An aluminum sphere at 100.0°C has a diameter of \(d = 2.54508\text{ cm}\). The sphere is put on top of the ring (Fig. 18.13), and the two are allowed to come to thermal equilibrium, with no heat lost to the surroundings. The sphere just passes through the ring at the equilibrium temperature. What is the mass of the sphere?
