Question

One of the brass freeze plugs in the given figure is 3.0 cm3.0 \mathrm{~cm} thick and just fits inside the hole in the steel of the engine block when the block is at room temperature and the brass was brought to the temperature of dry ice.

(a) If the bulk modulus of brass is 6.1×1010 N/m26.1 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2, what pressure does the freeze plug exert on the block when both the freeze plug and the engine block are at room temperature?

(b) If the coefficient of friction between brass and steel is 0.450.45, what force would it take to push the plug out of the block? If water were to freeze in the cooling system, would the plug pop out?

This problem is continuation of the previous one, Problem 64. Here, it is stated that one of the brass freeze plugs is 0.03 meters thick and fits perfectly inside the steel of the engine block, when the block is at room temperature and the brass was brought to the temperature of dry ice (-78°\degreeC).
