A metal wire of length l and cross-sectionalarea A has mass m. It is stretchedby an amount.e. by a load of mass M. If the wire breaks at the point of suspensiondue to the load then find the rise in temperatureof the wire?

Answer»

Solution :Strain energy `=(1)/(2) F.e =(1)/(2) (Mg) e`
As thewire BREAKS strain energy stored in the wire appears in the form of HEAT.
`therefore (1)/(2) (Mg)e=ms Deltat` [s = SPECIFIC heat of wire]
`Deltat=((Mg)e)/(2ms)`
