Find out the increase in moment of inertia $I$ of a uniform rod (coefficient of linear expansion a) about its perpendicular bisector when its temperature is slightly increased by $\Delta T$.

The coefficient of volume expansion of glycerin is $49 \times 10^{-5} \;K ^{-1} .$ What is the fractional change in its density for a $30\,^{\circ} C$ rise in temperature?

A beaker of height $H$ is made up of a material whose coefficient of linear thermal expansion is $3\alpha $ . It is filled up to the brim by a liquid whose coefficient of thermal expansion is $\alpha $. If now the beaker along with its contents is uniformly heated through a small temperature $T$ the level of liquid will reduce by (given $\alpha  << 1$) 

The apparent coefficient of expansion of a liquid when heated in a brass vessel is $X$ and when heated in a tin vessel is $Y$. If $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion for brass, the coefficient of linear expansion of tin is ……….

The coefficient of linear expansion depends on
