Under the same load, wire $A$ having length $5.0\,m$ and cross section $2.5 \times 10^{-5}\,m ^2$ stretches uniformly by the same amount as another wire $B$ of length $6.0\,m$ and a cross section of $3.0 \times 10^{-5}\,m ^2$ stretches. The ratio of the Young's modulus of wire $A$ to that of wire $B$ will be

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
