$A$ large steel wheel is to be fitted onto a shaft of the same material. At $27^{\circ}C$,the outer diameter of the shaft is $8.70\;cm$ and the diameter of the central hole in the wheel is $8.69\;cm$. The shaft is cooled using 'dry ice'. At what temperature (in $^{\circ}C$) of the shaft does the wheel slip on the shaft? Assume the coefficient of linear expansion of the steel to be constant over the required temperature range: $\alpha_{steel} = 1.20 \times 10^{-5}\;K^{-1}$.

  • A
    $42$
  • B
    $-42$
  • C
    $-69$
  • D
    $69$
