nitial temperature, T 1 = 27 ° C
Length of the brass wire at T 1 , l = 2 m
Final temperature, T 2 = –43 ° C
Diameter of the wire, d = 2.0 mm = 2 × 10 –3 m
Tension developed in the wire = F
Coefficient of linear expansion of brass, α = 11 × 10 –6 K –1
Young’s modulus of brass, Y = 2 × 10 11 Pa
Young’s modulus is given by the relation:
Where,
F = Tension developed in the wire
A = Area of cross-section of the wire.
Δ L = Change in the length, given by the relation:
Δ L = α L ( T 2 – T 1 ) … ( ii )
Equating equations ( i ) and ( ii ), we get:
(The negative sign indicates that the tension is directed inward.)
