1. How many beats can be heard by sounding together two tuning forks of frequencies 250Hz and 256Hz?
Number of beats (n) =f2- f1
= 256 - 250
= 6 beats /sec
It is theoretically possible for a substance to have a negative value of cubical expansivity, which means that the substance would contract rather than expand when the temperature increases. However, it is very rare for a substance to have a negative value of cubical expansivity over a significant range of temperatures.
One example of a substance that has a negative value of cubical expansivity over a limited range of temperatures is water. Water has a positive value of cubical expansivity at...
Yes, if the angle between the two vectors is more than 90o but less than 2700. (cosΘ is negative)
Materials show varying behaviors based on their Poisson's ratio. High Poisson's ratio materials (near 0.5) contract significantly sideways when stretched and expand when compressed, seen in substances like rubber. Low Poisson's ratio materials (near 0) undergo minimal width change during axial deformation, typical of metals and common engineering materials.
