A pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0°C$. Its mean coefficient of linear expansions is $\alpha /^\circ C$, then the loss in seconds per day by the clock if the temperature rises by $t°C$ is
$\frac{{\frac{1}{2}\alpha \,t \times 864000}}{{1 - \frac{{\alpha \,t}}{2}}}$
$\frac{1}{2}\alpha \,t \times \,86400$
$\frac{{\frac{1}{2}\alpha \,t \times 86400}}{{{{\left( {1 - \,\frac{{\alpha \,t}}{2}} \right)}^2}}}$
$\frac{{\frac{1}{2}\alpha \,t \times 86400}}{{1 + \frac{{\alpha \,t}}{2}}}$
An external pressure $P$ is applied on a cube at $0^o C$ so that it is equally compressed from all sides. $K$ is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and a is its coefficient of linear expansion. Suppose we want to bring the cube to its original size by heating. The temperature should be raised by
In a vertical $U-$tube containing a liquid, the two arms are maintained at different temperatures ${t_1}$ and ${t_2}$. The liquid columns in the two arms have heights ${l_1}$ and ${l_2}$ respectively. The coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid is equal to
The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid in a copper vessel is $C$ and in a silver vessel is $ S$. The coefficient of volume expansion of copper is $\gamma_c$. What is the coefficient of linear expansion of silver?
If a bimetallic strip is heated, it will
A large steel wheel is to be fitted on to a shaft of the same material. At $27\,^{\circ} C ,$ the outer diameter of the shaft is $8.70\; cm$ and the diameter of the centrall hole in the wheel is $8.69 \;cm$. The shaft is cooled using 'dry ice'. At what temperature (in $^oC$) of the shaft does the wheel slip on the shaft? Assume coefficient of linear expansion of the steel to be constant over the required temperature range: $\alpha_{steel} =1.20 \times 10^{-3} \;K ^{-1}$
