(a)$l = \frac{{FL}}{{\pi {r^2}r}}$==> $l \propto \frac{F}{{{r^2}}}$ (Y and L are constant)
$\frac{{{l_2}}}{{{l_1}}} = \frac{{{F_2}}}{{{F_1}}} \times {\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)^2} = 2 \times {(2)^2} = 8$
${l_2} = 8{l_1} = 8 \times 1 = 8mm$

    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
