(2.7) For polystyrene, a relaxation time associated with con-
figurational rearrangements, config, follows a Vogel-
Fulcher law,
config=0exp(BT-T0),
where 0,B, and T0 are constants, with B=710 and
T0=50C. A value of the experimental glass transition temperature is measured with an experiment carried out at an effective timescale \tau _(exp)=1000s and found to be 101.4\deg C. a) another experiment is carried out at an effective timescale of 10^5s. what is the value of the glass transition temperature that this experiment obtains? b)or what timescale must an experiment be carried out if it is to measure a glass transition temperature within 10\deg C. of the Vogel-Fulcher temperature T0? Is this practically possible?
