$A$ piece of copper having a rectangular cross-section of $15.2 \; mm \times 19.1 \; mm$ is pulled in tension with $44,500 \; N$ force,producing only elastic deformation. Calculate the resulting strain.

$A$ wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular parts. The two parts are held together by a metal ring of cross-sectional area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slightly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel,the ring is heated by a temperature $\Delta T$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$ and its Young's modulus is $Y$,the force that one part of the wheel exerts on the other is:

When a wire of length $L$ clamped at one end is pulled by a force $F$ from the other end,its length increases by $l$. If the radius of the wire and the applied force were halved,then the increase in its length is

$A$ steel wire of length $20 \text{ cm}$ and area of cross-section $1 \text{ mm}^2$ is tied rigidly at both the ends. When the temperature of the wire is changed from $40^{\circ} \text{C}$ to $20^{\circ} \text{C}$, find the change in its tension. Given, the coefficient of linear expansion for steel is $\alpha = 1.1 \times 10^{-5} {}^{\circ} \text{C}^{-1}$ and Young's modulus of steel is $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \text{ N/m}^2$.
