Coefficient of thermal expansion of the material is the measure of fractional change in size of an object per degree change in temperature.
We need choose the option which leads to loosening of lid upon heating or cooling.
1st option: cooling soda lime glass jar with tin lid.
Cooling tends to decrease the size of an object.
Effect of cooling on size will be larger in tin lid as its coefficient of thermal expansion is greater than soda lime glass.
So the size of tin lid contracts more than the size of the soda lime glass jar resulting in tightening of lid on the soda lime glass jar when cooled. So this combination is incorrect.
2nd option: cooling a soda lime glass jar with molybdenum lid.
Effect of cooling on the size will be larger on the soda lime glass jar as it has larger coefficient of thermal expansion than molybdenum lid.
So the size of the soda lime glass jar contacts more than the size of the molybdenum lid resulting in losening of the lid when cooled. this combination is correct.
3rd option: heating a soda lime glass jar with molybdenum lid.
Heating tends to increase the size of an object.
Effect of heating on the size of object will be greater on the soda lime glass jar as it has greater cofficient of thermal expansion than the molybdenum lid.
so the size of the soda lime glass jar expand more than the size of the molybdenum lid resulting in tightening of lid on the glass jar when heated. So option 3 is incorrect.

Rapid cooling (thermal shock) of a thin layer of material causes a thermal shock stress. the thermal shock stress can be estimated by Εα(ΔT) σ, - σ 1-v Assume that a piece of materials in the table below contains a crack of a depth a 0.5 mm, calculate the surface temperature change necessary to cause brittle fracture for each material [6 marks]. Rank the materials in thermal shock resistance from the largest to the least [2 marks] hint: Y-0.72 small...
