10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
hard

At $40\,^oC$, a brass wire of $1\, mm$ is hung from the ceiling. A small mass, $M$ is hung from the free end of the wire. When the wire is cooled down from $40\,^oC$ to $20\,^oC$ it regains its original length of $0.2\, m$. The value of $M$ is close to ........$kg$ (Coefficient of linear expansion and Young's modulus of brass are $10^{-5}/^oC$ and $10^{11}\, N/m^2$, respectively; $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

A

Solution

$\begin{array}{l}
Mg = \left( {\frac{{Ay}}{l}} \right)\,\Delta l\\
Mg = \left( {Ay} \right)\,\alpha \Delta T = 2\pi 
\end{array}$

It is closest to $9$
