A brass wire of length 2 m and radius 1 mm at \(27^{\circ} C\) is held taut between two rigid supports. Initially it was cooled to a temperature of \(-43^{\circ} C\) creating a tension T in the wire. The temperature to which the wire has to be cooled in order to increase the tension in it to 1.4 T , is _________ \({ }^{\circ} C\)

  1. A \(-86\)
  2. B \(-71\)
  3. C \(-65\)
  4. D \(-80\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-71\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( T=\alpha YA(27-(-43).....(i) \) \( 1.4~T=\alpha YA(27-\theta) \) ....(ii) using (ii)/(i) \( 1.4=\frac{27-\theta}{70} \) \( 27-\theta=98 \) \(\therefore \theta=-71^{\circ} C\)
