$A$ wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular parts. The two parts are held together by a metal ring of cross-sectional area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slightly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel,the ring is heated by a temperature $\Delta T$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$ and its Young's modulus is $Y$,the force that one part of the wheel exerts on the other is:

The pressure that has to be applied to the ends of a steel wire of length $10 \ cm$ to keep its length constant when its temperature is raised by $100 \ ^\circ C$ is: (For steel,Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and coefficient of thermal expansion $\alpha = 1.1 \times 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$)

Why are springs made of steel instead of copper?

$A$ steel rod has a radius of $10 \,mm$ and a length of $1.0 \,m$. $A$ force stretches it along its length and produces a strain of $0.32 \%$. The Young's modulus of the steel is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$. What is the magnitude of the force stretching the rod in $kN$?
