Problem

A 1.0 kg1.0\text{ kg} bar of copper is heated at atmospheric pressure (1.01×105 N/m2)(1.01\times10^5\text{ N/m}^2). If its temperature increases from 20∘C20^\circ\text{C} to 50∘C50^\circ\text{C}, calculate the change in its internal energy. α=7.0×10−6 /∘C\alpha=7.0\times10^{-6}\,/{}^\circ\text{C}, ρ=8.92×103 kg/m3\rho=8.92\times10^3\text{ kg/m}^3, and c=387 J/(kg⋅∘C)c=387\text{ J/(kg}\cdot{}^\circ\text{C)}.
