A metal wire, with density p and Young鈥檚 modulus Y, is stretched between rigid supports. At temperature T, the speed of a transverse wave is found to be v1. When the temperature increased to T=T, the speed decreases to v2 < v1. Determine the coefficient of linear expansion of the wire.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The coefficient of linear expansion of the wire is=v12-v22YT

Step by step solution

01

  Relation between the speed of transverse wave, Young’s modulus and temperature.

The speed of transverse wave is,

v=F ...(i)

And the expansion relation is given by,

L=L0T ...(ii)

Also, Young鈥檚 Modulus expression is given as,

Y=FALL ...(iii)

From these equations, relation for change in tension with respect to change in temperature is,

F=驰伪础T ...(iv)

02

 Determination of coefficient of linear expansion of the wire.

Take the velocities to be v1 and v2.

v1=Fv12=FF=12

For v2, the tension decreases according to equation (iv),

v2=F+F=F-YATv22=F-YAT=v12-YAT

Therefore,

v12-v22=YAT

Substitute =1in above equation and solve for ,

=v12-v22YT

This is the expression of the coefficient of thermal expansion.
