A wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular part (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross section area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slighly 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 steps over the wheel.As it cools down to surronding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficint of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$, and its young's modulus is $Y$, the force that one part of wheel applies on the other part is
$2SY\alpha \Delta T$
$2\pi SY\Delta T$
$SY\alpha \Delta T$
$\pi SY\alpha \Delta T$
A load $W$ produces an extension of $1mm$ in a thread of radius $r.$ Now if the load is made $4W$ and radius is made $2r$ all other things remaining same, the extension will become..... $mm$
A $14.5\; kg$ mass, fastened to the end of a steel wire of unstretched length $1.0 \;m ,$ is whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity of $2\;rev/s$ at the bottom of the circle. The cross-sectional area of the wire is $0.065 \;cm ^{2} .$ Calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path.
Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50 \times 10^{3} {kg}$, The inner and outer radii of each column are $50\; {cm}$ and $100 \;{cm}$ respectively. Assuming uniform local distribution, calculate the compression strain of each column. [Use $\left.{Y}=2.0 \times 10^{11} \;{Pa}, {g}=9.8\; {m} / {s}^{2}\right]$
There are two wire of same material and same length while the diameter of second wire is two times the diameter of first wire, then the ratio of extension produced in the wires by applying same load will be
The following four wires are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension when the same tension is applied?
