A wooden wheel of radius R is made of two semi-circular parts (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross-sectional area A and length L. L is slightly less than 2nR. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by T and it just steps over the wheel. As it cools down to the surrounding temperature, it presses the semi-circular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is a and it's Young’s modulus is Y, the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is :

The coefficient of linear expansion and Young’s modulus of copper are respectively 1.5 times and 0.5 times those of iron. The ratio of the forces developed in copper and iron bars of identical lengths and cross-sections and held fixed, when heated through the same range of temperature, is :
