Tensile stress in wire will be

$ = \frac{{Tensile\,force}}{{Cross\,section\,Area}}$

$ = \frac{{mg}}{{\pi {R^2}}} = \frac{{4 \times 3.1\pi }}{{\pi  \times 4 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}N{m^{ - 2}} = 3.1 \times {10^6}N{m^{ - 2}}$

    A wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular part (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross section area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slighly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just steps over the wheel.As it cools down to surronding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficint of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$, and its young's modulus is $Y$, the force that one part of wheel applies on the other part is
