NEETPhysicsThermal Properties of Matter
What temperature does the wheel slip on the shaft when a large steel wheel with an outer diameter of 8.70 cm is fitted onto a shaft of the same material, which has a central hole with a diameter of 8.69 cm, and the shaft is cooled using 'dry ice'? Assume the coefficient of linear expansion of the steel to be constant over the required temperature range (αsteel = 1.20 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹).
