10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
easy
At some temperature $T$, a bronze pin is a little large to fit into a hole drilled in a steel block. The change in temperature required for an exact fit is minimum when
A
Only the block is heated
B
Both block and pin are heated together
C
Both block and pin are cooled together
D
Only the pin is cooled
Solution
(a) Since coefficient of expansion of steel is greater than that of bronze.
Hence with small increase in it's temperature the hole expand sufficiently.
