A commonly used process of fastening one part to the other part is termed ‘shrink fitting’. A steel rod consists of a diameter of 2.0041 cm and a flat plate includes a hole whose diameter is 2.0000 cm. The rod is cooled so that it just fits into the hole. If the rod warms up, the enormous thermal stress applied by the plate holds the rod securely to the plate. Determine by how many Celsius degrees must the rod be cooled?
Determine the approximate length of the Golden Gate Bridge if it is recognized that the steel in the roadbed expands through 0.507 m if the temperature changes from +2.75 to +34.5 °C.
A steel aircraft carrier is 354 m long if moving via the icy North Atlantic at a temperature of 3.71 °C. By how much does the carrier lengthen if it is traveling in the warm Mediterranean Sea at a temperature of around 25.8 °C?
