Q.

The wooden wheel of radius R is made of two semicircular parts (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross-sectional area S and length L. L is slightly less than 2πR. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated, so that its temperature rises by T and it just steps over the wheel. As it cools down to surrounding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the
metal is α. and its Young's modulus is Y, the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is

Detailed Solution

Elongation due to change in temperature,

          l = T                                               …(i)

where, α = coefficient of linear expansion,

which is compensated by elastic strain.
When temperature becomes normal, then

                               l = TLYS                              …(ii)

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

                               TLYS = LαT

                             T = Y Sα T

At equilibrium, force exerted by one-half on other,

                                  F = 2T = 2YSαT
