The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the tension developed in the brass wire when it is cooled from 27°C to -33°C. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Length of the wire, \( L = 2 \, m \) - Initial temperature, \( T_i = 27°C \) - Final temperature, \( T_f = -33°C \) - Coefficient of linear expansion of brass, \( \alpha = 2.0 \times 10^{-5} \, /°C \) - Young's modulus of brass, \( Y = 0.91 \times 10^{11} \, Pa \) - Diameter of the wire, \( d = 2 \, mm = 0.002 \, m \) ### Step 2: Calculate the change in temperature \[ \Delta T = T_f - T_i = -33°C - 27°C = -60°C \] ### Step 3: Calculate the change in length due to temperature change The change in length (\( \Delta L \)) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta L = L \cdot \alpha \cdot \Delta T \] Substituting the values: \[ \Delta L = 2 \, m \cdot (2.0 \times 10^{-5} \, /°C) \cdot (-60°C) \] \[ \Delta L = 2 \cdot 2.0 \times 10^{-5} \cdot (-60) = -2.4 \times 10^{-3} \, m = -2.4 \, mm \] ### Step 4: Calculate the area of the wire The area (\( A \)) of the wire can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: \[ A = \pi \left( \frac{d}{2} \right)^2 = \pi \left( \frac{0.002}{2} \right)^2 = \pi \left( 0.001 \right)^2 = \pi \times 10^{-6} \, m^2 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the stress in the wire The stress (\( S \)) in the wire can be expressed as: \[ S = \frac{T}{A} = Y \cdot \text{strain} \] Where strain is given by: \[ \text{strain} = \frac{\Delta L}{L} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{strain} = \frac{-2.4 \times 10^{-3}}{2} = -1.2 \times 10^{-3} \] ### Step 6: Relate tension to stress Rearranging the stress equation gives: \[ T = S \cdot A = Y \cdot \text{strain} \cdot A \] Substituting the values: \[ T = 0.91 \times 10^{11} \cdot (-1.2 \times 10^{-3}) \cdot (\pi \times 10^{-6}) \] ### Step 7: Calculate the tension \[ T = 0.91 \times 10^{11} \cdot (-1.2 \times 10^{-3}) \cdot (3.14 \times 10^{-6}) \] Calculating this: \[ T \approx 0.91 \times 10^{11} \cdot (-1.2 \times 3.14) \times 10^{-9} \] \[ T \approx 0.91 \times 10^{11} \cdot (-3.768) \times 10^{-9} \] \[ T \approx -3.43 \times 10^{2} \, N \approx -343 \, N \] ### Final Result The tension developed in the wire is approximately \( 340 \, N \). ---
