Find out the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of an open pipeso that the frequency of any tone emitted from itdoes not very with temperature .

Answer»

Solution :The fundamental FREQUENCIES at ` 0^(@)` C and` t^(@)` C are respectively ,
`n_(1) = (V_(0))/(2l_(0)) and n_(2) (V_(t))/(2l_(t))`
Here,`V_(0)`= velocity of SOUND at ` 0^(@) C l_(0)`= length of the pipeat ` 0^(@) C , V_(t)` = velocity of sound at ` t^(@) C , l_(t)` = length of the pipe at ` t^(@) C ` .
According to the question, ` n_(1) = n_(2)`
so , ` (V_(0))/(2l_(0)) = (V_(t))/(2l_(t))`
or , `V_(0) l_(t) = V_(t) l_(0) or V_(0) l_(0) (1 + alpha t) = V_(0) ( 1 + 0 .00183 t) l_(0)`
[`alpha = ` coefficient of LINEAR expansion]
or, ` alpha = 0 . 00183^(@) C^(-1)` .
