JEE MainPhysics

A steel wire is rigidly fixed at both ends. Its length, mass and
cross sectional area are 1m, 0.01 kg and

[IMAGE] respectively. Then the temperature of the wire is

lowered by[IMAGE]. If the transverse waves are setup by

plucking the wire at [IMAGE] from one end and assuming

that wire vibrates with minimum number of loops possible for such a

case. The frequency of vibration is 44n Hz. Find n. [Coefficient of

linear expansion of steel [IMAGE] and Young's





Show answer and solution
[IMAGE] The mechanical strain [IMAGE] The tension in wire[IMAGE] speed of wave in wire
[IMAGE] Since the wire is plucked at [IMAGE] from one end

The wire shall oscillate in [IMAGE] overtone (for minimum

number of loops)

TOPIC:Waves in a string

SUB TOPIC: Wire fixed at both ends

LEVEL:Moderate
