    A compressive force, $F$ is applied at the two ends of a long thin steel rod. It is heated, simultaneously, such that its temperature increases by $\Delta T$. The net change in its length is zero. Let $l$ be the length of the rod, $A$ its area of cross- section, $Y$ its Young's modulus, and $\alpha $ its coefficient of linear expansion. Then, $F$ is equal to

    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
