10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
normal
A clock which keeps correct time at $20\,^oC$ has a pendulum rod made of brass. How many seconds will it gain or lose per day when temperature falls to $0\,^oC$ ? $(\alpha = 18\times10^{-6}/^oC)$
A
$155.5$
B
$15.55$
C
$25.55$
D
$18.55$
Solution
Gain or loss in $\mathrm{t}$ sec $=\frac{1}{2} \alpha \Delta \theta \mathrm{t}$
$\alpha=$ Coefficient of linear expansion
$\Delta \theta=$ rise in temperature
$\mathrm{t}=$ total time in sec.
