A steel ring of radius r and cross-sectional area A is fitted on to a wooden disc of radius R(R r) . If Young's modulus be Y , then the force with which the steel ring is expanded, is
Options
- AA Y R r
- BA Y ( R-r r )
- CY A [ R-r r ]
- DY r A R
Correct answer
B. A Y ( R-r r )
Step-by-step solution
Strain = l l = 2 R-2 r 2 r = ( R-r r ) Stress =Y strain = F A F=Y A strain =A Y ( R-r r )
