A metallic rod $1\,cm$ long with a square cross-section is heated through $1^o C$. If Young’s modulus of elasticity of the metal is $E$ and the mean coefficient of linear expansion is $\alpha$ per degree Celsius, then the compressional force required to prevent the rod from expanding along its length is :(Neglect the change of cross-sectional area)

When vapour condenses into liquid

If the length of a cylinder on heating increases by $2\%$, the area of its base will increase by ....... $\%$

A unit scale is to be prepared whose length does not change with temperature and remains $20\,cm$, using a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length. The length of both components would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remains constant. If length of brass is $40\,cm$ and length of iron will be$...cm$

$\left(\alpha_{\text {iron }}=1.2 \times 10^{-5} K ^{-1}\right.$ and $\left.\alpha_{\text {brass }}=1.8 \times 10^{-5} K ^{-1}\right)$.

A rod of length $10\ meter$ at $0\,^oC$ having expansion coefficient $\alpha  = (2x^2 + 1) \times  10^{-6}\,C^{-1}$ where $x$ is the distance from one end of rod. The length of rod at $10\,^oC$ is

A surveyor's $30$-$m$ steel tape is correct at some temperutre. On a hot day the tape has expanded to $30.01$ $m$. On that day, the tape indicates a distance of $15.52$ $m$ between two points. The true distance between these points is :-
