Answer 1

Answer:

Normally, the ring is slightly smaller in size than the wooden handle. To fix the handle, the ring is heated and it becomes slightly larger in size (expands). Therefore, the handle easily fits into the ring. When the ring cools down, it contracts and fits tightly on to the handle.
