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)
$\alpha t$
$\frac{1}{2}\alpha t$
$\alpha t \times 86400$
$\frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times 86400$
Some steam at $100^o \,\,C$ is passed into $1.1 \,\,kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.02\,\, kg$ at $15^o C$ so that the temperature of the calorimeter and its contents rises to $80^o \,\,C$. What is the mass of steam condensing. (in $kg$)
The temperature of a body on Kelvin scale is found to be $x\,K.$ When it is measured by Fahrenheit thermometer, it is found to be $x\,^oF$ , then the value of $x$ is
The temperature of a body on Kelvin scale is found to be $X\;K$. When it is measured by a Fahrenheit thermometer, it is found to be ${X^0}F$. Then $X$ is
An iron ball of mass $0.2\,kg$ is heated to $10\,^oC$ and put into a block of ice at $0\,^oC.$ $25\,g$ of ice melts. If the latent heat of fusion of ice is $80\,cal/g,$ then the specific heat of iron in $cal/g\,^oC$ is
Suppose there is a hole in a copper plate. On heating the plate, diameter of hole, would
