Two rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion α1, α2 and Young’s moduli Y1, Y2 respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of the rods. If α1 : α2 = 2 : 3 the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equal, provided Y1 : Y2 is equal to :

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 :
