A steel wire is heated to 170^(@)C and held between two rigid supports which are 20cm apart. The wire is allowed to cool to a temperature of 29.6^(@)C. If the frequency of the note produced when the wire is plucked at the middle is 100 k, then find the value of k. (The density D of steel is 7.8xx10^(3)kg//m^(3) and for steel alpha=16xx10^(-6)K^(-1) and Y of steel =20xx10^(10)Pa.).

Answer»

SOLUTION :THERMAL STRESS in the wire `=alphaYDeltaT`
Tension in the wire `=alphaYDeltaTpir^(2)`
`N=(1)/(2L)sqrt((T)/(pir^(2)D))=(1)/(2L)sqrt((alphaYDeltaT.pir^(2))/(pir^(2)D))=(1)/(2L)sqrt((alphaYDeltaT)/(D))`
Putting values `n=600Hz`.
In the fundamental mode as the wire is plucked in the MIDDLE.
