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in Nature magazine titled "The Effect of Change of Temperature on the Velocity of Sound in Iron" is mentioned as a historical reference.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

Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'
As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
