Three identical steel wires, each 1.00 m long and
3.00 mm in diameter, are arranged as shown in the
picture. One end of each wire is secured to a ring of
negligible mass and the other end is secured to an
immovable wall so that the tension in the wires is just
enough to keep them straight (i.e. the initial tension is
approximately zero.) If the wires are cooled 80.0 C
, find
the distance the ring moves to the right and the final
tension in each wire. (Note: you can assume the angle
θ does not change when the ring moves.)

process should involve thermal expansion and stress

any expert pls help ty

reenact the question in gmod

pretty sure you'll get an answer out of it

Do your own homework.

Besides, I think you are missing some thermal properties of steel or something we need to know. Not that I ever took any thermo classes

why would I ask if I knew how to do it

constants arent needed to explain setup, I can do the gruntwork

everyone I know that has taken physics series before forgot how to do this already :<

process should involve thermal expansion and stress

I don't know shit about thermal expansion but I know a little about stress so I'll take a shot. Alright you'll need to find how much each wire contracts on it's own using yout handy thermal expansion formula(don't worry about the setup yet). So then you set that equal to PL/AE and solve for P obviously. This P is the tension that each wire exerts onto the ring. Therefore, you'll want to find the elongation of the first wire caused by the tension of wire 2 and 3 by using PL/AE where P = 2P cos15 . Add that to the delta you got before for wire 1 and if you get a positive number then it should work.

If that's all wrong then you'll know why I'm failing my mechanics course.

Physics question? Start with the FBD, always helps.
