Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 398

Question: An iron tyre is to be fitted on to a wooden wheel 1m in diameter. The diameter of tyre is 6 mm smaller than that of wheel. The tyre should be heated so that its temperature increases by a minimum of (the coefficient of cubical expansion of iron is 3.6×105)

Options:

A) 167C

B) 334C

C) 500C

D) 1000C

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Initial diameter of tyre =(1000 - 6) mm =994 mm,

so initial radius of tyre R=9942=497mm and change in diameter ΔD=6mm so ΔR=62=3mm

After increasing temperature by Δθ tyre will fit onto wheel Increment in the length (circumference) of the iron tyre ΔL=L×α×Δθ=L×γ3×Δθ[Asα=γ3]

2πΔR=2πR(γ3)ΔθΔθ

=3γΔRR=3×33.6×105×497Δθ500oC
