A rod of length $20 \,\,cm$ is made of metal. It expands by $0.075\,\, cm$ when its temperature is raised from $0^o C$ to $100^o C$. Another rod of a different metal $B$ having the same length expands by $0.045 cm$ for the same change in temperature, a third rod of the same length is composed of two parts one of metal $A$ and the other of metal $B$. Thus rod expand by $0.06 \,\,cm$.for the same change in temperature. The portion made of metal $A$ has the length .............. $cm$

Two holes of unequal diameters $d_1$ and $d_2\, (d_1 > d_2)$ are cut in a metal sheet. If the sheet is heated
A centigrade and a Fahrenheit thermometer are dipped in boiling water. The water temperature is lowered until the Fahrenheit thermometer registers $140°F$. What is the fall in temperature as registered by the Centigrade thermometer ...... $^o$
A lead bullet at $27\,^oC$ just melts when stopped by an obstacle. Assuming that $25\%$ of heat is absorbed by the obstacle, then the velocity of the bullet at the time of striking ........ $m/s$ ( $M. P.$ of lead $= 327\,^oC,$ specific heat of lead $= 0.03\,cal/g\,^oC,$ latent heat of fusion of lead $= 6\,cal/g$ and $J = 4.2\,joule/cal$ )
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
A steel tape measures the length of a copper rod as $90\, cm$ when both are at $10\,^oC$. ........ $cm$ would the tape read for the length of rod when both are at $30\,^oC$ ? $[\alpha _{st} = 1.2\times10^{-5}/^oC$ and $\alpha _{cu} = 1.7\times10^{-5}/^oC]$
