B Speed of sound in steel at different temperatures?

AI Thread 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1886 in Nature magazine titled "The Effect of Change of Temperature on the Velocity of Sound in Iron" is mentioned as a historical reference.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?

Thank you.

As a curiosity, an article named "The Effect of Change of Temperature on the Velocity of Sound in Iron" was published in Nature magazine on 22 April 1886:

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
