Q. If a cylinder a diameter $1.0\ cm$ at $30℃$ is to be fitted into a hole of diameter $0.9997\ cm$ in a steel plate at the same temperature, then minimum required rise in the temperature of the plate is : (Coefficient of linear expansion of steel $= 12 \times 10^{- 6}/℃$)

A) $25℃$
B) $35℃$
C) $45℃$
D) $55℃$
Explanation

(a) $\theta = \frac{\mathrm{\Delta}L}{L_{0}\mathrm{\Delta}\alpha} = \frac{(1 - 0.9997)}{0.9997 \times 12 \times 10^{- 6}} = 25℃$
