$A$ 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 $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel,it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just slips over the wheel. As it cools down to the surrounding temperature,it presses the semicircular parts together. 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 applies on the other part is:

In a tensile test on a metal bar of diameter $0.015 \ m$ and length $0.2 \ m$, the relation between the load and elongation within the proportional limit is found to be $F = 97.2 \times 10^6 (\Delta L)$, where $F$ is the load in $N$ and $\Delta L$ is the elongation in $m$. The Young's modulus of the material in $GPa$ is:

If the density of the material increases,the value of Young's modulus

$A$ steel wire of length $3 \ m$ and a copper wire of length $2.2 \ m$ are connected end to end. When the combination is stretched by a force, the net elongation is $1.05 \ mm$. If the area of cross-section of each wire is $6 \ mm^2$, then the load applied is (Young's modulus of steel and copper are respectively $2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and $1.1 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$) (in $N$)

An area of cross-section of a rubber string is $2 \, cm^2$. Its length is doubled when stretched with a linear force of $2 \times 10^5 \, dynes$. The Young's modulus of the rubber in $dyne/cm^2$ will be:
