Sol. (2) . $\mathrm{A} \ell_{1}=3 \mathrm{A} \ell_{2}$ $\Rightarrow \ell_{2}=\frac{\ell_{1}}{3}$ For wire $1: Y=\frac{F / A}{\Delta x / \ell_{1}}$ For wire $2: \mathrm{Y}=\frac{F^{\prime} / 3 A}{\Delta x / \ell_{2}}$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{F}^{\prime}=9 \mathrm{F}$
Q. A 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 $2 \pi \mathrm{R}$. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta \mathrm{T}$ 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 , and its Young’s modulus is Y, the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is :

Sol. (1) $Y=\frac{F / S}{\Delta L / L}$ $\frac{\Delta L}{L}=\frac{\Delta R}{R}=\alpha \Delta \mathrm{T} \quad[\mathrm{L}=2 \pi \mathrm{R}]$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{YS} \alpha \Delta \mathrm{T}$ $\therefore$ The ring is pressing the wheel from both sides, thus $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{net}}=2 \mathrm{F}=2 \mathrm{YS} \alpha \Delta \mathrm{T}$
