High School Speed of sound in steel at different temperatures?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between the speed of sound in steel and temperature, highlighting the need for a formula to calculate this effect. A Google search revealed numerous resources on the topic, indicating significant interest and available information. An article from 1886 in Nature magazine titled "The Effect of Change of Temperature on the Velocity of Sound in Iron" is mentioned as a historical reference. Participants express curiosity about the specific calculations and variations in sound speed due to temperature changes. Understanding this relationship is crucial for applications involving steel in varying thermal conditions.

How to calculate speed of sound through steel in different temperatures?
Is there a formula to calculate the speed of propagation of sound waves through steel (a steel bar, for example) according to the temperature of steel?

Thread 'Reference frames, center of rotation, etc'

Topic about reference frames, center of rotation, postion of origin etc Comoving ref. frame is frame that is attached to moving object, does that mean, in that frame translation and rotation of object is zero, because origin and axes(x,y,z) are fixed to object? Is it same if you place origin of frame at object center of mass or at object tail? What type of comoving frame exist? What is lab frame? If we talk about center of rotation do we always need to specified from what frame we observe?
