A machinist needs to remove a tight fitting pin of material A from a hole in a block made of material B. The machinist heats both the pin and the block to the same high temperature and removes the pin easily
What statement relates the coefficient of thermal expansion of material A to that of material B?
A) Material B has a greater coefficient of expansion than does material A.
B) The situation is not possible because heating block B will shrink the hole in the material as the material expands with increasing temperature.
C) Material B has the same coefficient of expansion as does material A.
D) Material A has a greater coefficient of expansion than does material B.

Two children seat themselves on a seesaw. The one on the left has a weight of 400 N while the one on the right weighs 300 N. The fulcrum is at the midpoint of the seesaw. If the child on the right is not at the end but is 1.50 m from the fulcrum and the seesaw is balanced, what is the torque provided by the weight of the child on the left? (Take ccw as positive.)
a. 600 N•m c. –600 N•m b. 450 N•m d. –450 N•m
