A moving object’s length in a given frame is defined to be the distance between two events that occur at oppo­site ends of the object and that are simultaneous in that frame. Why is it crucial that the events we use to define a moving object’s length be simultaneous?

A. This is purely conventional: there is no other reason. B. This choice makes it easier to use the Lorentz transfor­mation equations to find the length. C. If the events are not constrained to be simultaneous, then the length is poorly defined: its value would depend on the time interval between the events. D. If the events are simultaneous, then the length will be a frame-independent quantity. E. Other (specify)

A heat exchanger wall consists of a copper plate 2 cm thick. The heat transfer coefficients on the two sides of the plate are 2700 and 7000 W/( m2 K), corresponding to fluid temperatures of 92 and 32°C, respectively. Assuming that the thermal conductivity of the wall is 375 W/ ( m K), (a) compute the surface temperatures in °C, and (b) calculate the heat flux in W/ m2.
