A metallic bar of Young's modulus, $0.5 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}$ and coefficient of linear thermal expansion $10^{-5}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}$, length $1 \mathrm{~m}$ and area of cross-section $10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^2$ is heated from $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ without expansion or bending. The compressive force developed in it is :

If a bimetallic strip is heated, it will

At some temperature $T$, a bronze pin is a little large to fit into a hole drilled in a steel block. The change in temperature required for an exact fit is minimum when

A hole is drilled in a copper sheet. The diameter of the hole is $4.24\; cm$ at $27.0\,^{\circ} C$ What is the change in the diameter  of the hole when the sheet is heated to $227\,^{\circ} C ?$ Coefficient of linear expansion of copper $=1.70 \times 10^{-5}\; K ^{-1}$

A seconds pendulum clock has a steel wire. The clock shows correct time at $25^{\circ} C$. .......... $s$ time does the clock lose or gain, in one week, when the temperature is increased to $35^{\circ} C$ ? $\left(\alpha_{\text {toel }}=1.2 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C \right)$

Why the coefficient of volume expansion is zero for water at $4\,^oC$?
