Q.

A cylindrical steel plug is inserted into a circular hole of diameter 2.6 cm in a brass plate. When the plug and the plates are at a temperature of 20°C, the diameter of the plug is 0.01 cm smaller than that of the hole. The temperature at which the plug will just fit in it is

Detailed Solution

Diameter of brass plate = 2.6cm
and diameter of steel plate = (2.6 - 0.01)cm= 2.59 cm
Now,                    (d + d)b = (d + d)s

or                   db(1 + αθ)b= ds (1 + αθ)s

        2.6 (1+19 ×10-6 θ) = 2.59 (1+11×10-6θ)

            θ  -478C  or  θf = -478+20=-458C
