A steel rod 1m long is clamped at its middle. The fundamental frequency of longitudinal vibrations of the rod are given to be 2.53 KHz. What is the speed of sound in steel ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,` f = 2.53 xx10^(3) Hz`
l= 1m Here `l = ( lambda )/( 2) ` so that
v = fl
i.e., `v = 2 fl = 2 xx 2.53 xx 10^(3) xx1 `
` v = 5.06 kms^(-1)`

A 1.0 m long metallic rod is rotated with an angular frequency of 400 rad s^(-1) about an axis normal to the rod passing through its one end. The other end of the rod is in contact with a circular metallic ring. A constant and uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T parallel to the axis exists everywhere. Calculate the emf developed between the centre and the ring.
