A steel tape gives correct measurement at $20^o C$. A piece of wood is being measured with the steel tape at $0^o C$. The reading is $25 \,\,cm$ on the tape, the real length of the given piece of wood must be:

The coefficients of thermal expansion of steel and a metal $X$ are respectively $12 × 10^{-6}$ and $2 × 10^{-6} per^o C$. At $40^o C$, the side of a cube of metal $X$ was measured using a steel vernier callipers. The reading was $100 \,\,mm$.Assuming that the calibration of the vernier was done at $0^o C$, then the actual length of the side of the cube at $0^o C$ will be

The volume of the bulb of a mercury thermometer at $0^o C$ is $V_0$and cross section of the capillary is $A_0$. The coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $a_g$ $per ^o C$ and the cubical expansion of mercury $\gamma_m$ $per ^o C$. If the mercury just fills the bulb at $0^o C$, what is the length of mercury column in capillary at $T^o C.$

A glass flask of volume $200 \,cm ^3$ is just filled with mercury at $20^{\circ} C$. The amount of mercury that will overflow when the temperature of the system is raised to $100^{\circ} C$ is ........ $cm ^3$ $\left(\gamma_{\text {glase }}=1.2 \times 10^{-5} / C ^{\circ}, \gamma_{\text {mercury }}=1.8 \times 10^{-4} / C^{\circ}\right)$

A steel rod of diameter $1\,cm$ is clamped firmly at each end when its temperature is $25\,^oC$ so that it cannot contract on cooling. The tension in the rod at $0\,^oC$ is approximately ......... $N$ $(\alpha = 10^{-5}/\,^oC,\,\,Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$

Surface of the lake is at $2°C$. Find the temperature of the bottom of the lake........ $^oC$
