A bimetallic strip consists of metals $X$  and $Y.$  It is mounted rigidly at the base as shown in the figure. The metal $X$  has a higher coefficient of expansion as compared to that for metal $Y.$  When the bimetallic strip is placed in a cold bath ?

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 ...... $^o$

On a new scale of temperature (which is linear) and called the $W\, scale$, the freezing and boiling points of water are $39\,^oW$ and $239\,^oW$ respectively. What will be th temperature on the new scale, corresponding to a temperature of $39\,^oC$ on the Celsius scale? ............ $^\circ \mathrm{W}$

A vertical glass capillary tube open at both ends contains some water. Which of the following shapes may be taken by the water in the tube?

A glass flask of volume one litre at $0\,^oC$ is filled, level full of mercury at this temperature. The flask and mercury are now heated to $100\,^oC$. How much mercury will spill out, if coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is $1.82 \times 10^{-4}/^oC$ and linear expansion of glass is $0.1 \times 10^{-4}/^oC$ ? ............ $\mathrm{cc}$
