A thin ring of an alloy of inner diameter 20 cm and cross-sectional area , is heated until it easily slides on a rigid cylinder of diameter 20.025 cm. [For the alloy : ] when the ring cools down, what is the tension (in N) in it?

Answer:
50
Solution:

The circumferential strain on cooling onto the cylinder is Δd/d=0.025/20=0.00125.

Stress=Yε=5×10^8 Pa, so tension=stress×1 mm²=500 N.
