Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 97
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 × 10-5/ºC) [CPMT 1989]
Options:
A) 167ºC
B) 334ºC
C) 500ºC
D) 1000ºC
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Initial diameter of tyre = (1000 - 6) mm = 994 mm,
so initial radius of tyre
After increasing temperature by Dq tyre will fit onto wheel Increment in the length (circumference) of the iron tyre DL = L ´ a ´ Dq
therefore
therefore
