What will happen if a rod is tied with fixed supports rigidly at both ends and its temperature is increased?

$A$ 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: $\alpha_{steel} = 1.20 \times 10^{-5}\;K^{-1}$.

$A$ circular metallic disc of radius $R$ has a small circular cavity of radius $r$ as shown in the figure. On heating the system:

$A$ pendulum clock shows the correct time at $20^{\circ}C$. During summer days,when the temperature rises to $40^{\circ}C$,what will be the time change in the clock in one day (in $.64$)? (Given: $\alpha = 10^{-5} {^{\circ}C}^{-1}$)

When a copper ball is heated,the largest percentage increase will occur in its

On what does the value of the coefficient of linear expansion depend?
