A copper collar is to fit tightly about a steel shaft that has a diameter of 6 cm at `20^@C`. The inside diameter of the copper collar at the temperature is `5.98cm` If the breaking stress of copper is `230 N//m^2`, at what temperature will the copper collar break as it cools?A. `20^@C`B. `47^@C`C. `94^@C`D. `217^@C`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`alphaLDeltaT+L((F)/(A))/(alphaY)=0`
`DeltaT=((F)/(A))/(alphaY)=(230xx10^6(N)/(m^2))/((17xx10^-6K^-1)(110xx10^9(N)/(m^2))`
`=-123K=-123^@C`
Final temperature at which the copper collar breaks
`T_f=T_i+DeltaT=217^@C-123^@C=94^@C`
