$50\, gm$ of copper is heated to increase its temperature by $10\,^oC$. If the same quantity of heat is given to $10\, gm$ of water, the rise in its temperature is ........ $^oC$ (Specific heat of copper $=420\, Joule\, kg^{-1}\,^oC^{-1}$)
$5$

A faulty thermometer has its fixed points marked $5^o$ and $95^o$. This thermometer reads the temperature of a body as $59^o$. Then, the correct temperature of the body on the Celsius scale is ...... $^o$
Steam at $100\,^oC$ is more dangerous than the same mass of water at $100\,^oC$ because the steam
Water is used to cool radiators of engines in car because
The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $153 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$ and in a steel vessel is $144 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$, then that of glass is
A pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0\,^oC$. The thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the pendulum is $\alpha $. If the temperature rises to $t\,^oC$, then the clock loses per day by (in second)
