A large spherical tank is filled with liquid nitrogen at -200ºC. Using an approximation that the elements of the sphere are infinite walls with initial temperature of 10ºC, when the surroundings are at 10ºC as shown, predict the temperature through the wall after 5 minutes using graphical techniques. The tank is 1% carbon steel, 2 cm thick, and the convective heat transfer coefficients are 40 W/m^2 K for air and 60 W/m^2 K for the nitrogen. Also determine the time before the outside wall reaches 5ºC.

A transverse periodic wave is represented by the equation y(z, t) = 2.0 cm sin(1,200 rad/s t - 20.0z). Another transverse wave is represented by the equation y(z, t) = 2.0 cm sin(1,200 rad/s t - 20.0z). What is the equation that represents the superposition of the two waves?

A. y(z, t) = 4.0 cm sin(1,200 rad/s t - 20.0z)
