A steel tape placed around the earth at ...

A steel tape placed around the earth at the equator when the temperature is `10^(@)C`. What will be the clearance between the tape and the ground (assumed to be uniform) if the temperature of the tape rises to `40^(@)C`? Neglect expansion of the earth. Radius of earth at equator is `6400`km & ` alpha_(steel)= 1.2 xx 10^(-5)K^(-1)`

A heavy brass bar has projections at its ends as shown in the figure. Two find steel wires, fastened between the projections, are just taut (zero tension) when the whole systeam is at 0^(0)C . What is the tensile stress in the steel wires when the temperature of the systeam is raised to 300^(0)C ? Given that alpha_("brass") = 20 xx 10^(-6 ^(@))C^(-1) alpha_("steel") = 12 xx 10^(-6@)C^(-1) Y_("steel") = 2 xx 10^(11) Nm^(-2)
