A copper collar is to fit tightly about a steel shaft whose diameter is 6.0080 cm at 18°C. The inside diameter of the copper collar at that temperature is 5.9800 cm. To what temperature must the copper collar be raised so that it will just slip on the steel shaft, assuming the temperature of both the steel shaft and copper collar are raised simultaneously? X °C Because the temperatures of both the steel shaft and the copper collar change together, you can find the temperature change required for the collar to fit the shaft by equating their diameters for a given temperature increase. These diameters are related to their diameters at the cooler temperature and the increase in temperature through the definition of the coefficient of linear expansion
