Each side of a box made of metal sheet in cubic shape is $'a'$ at room temperature $'T'$, the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal sheet is $^{\prime} \alpha^{\prime}$. The metal sheet is heated uniformly, by a small temperature $\Delta T$, so that its new temperature is $T +\Delta T$. Calculate the increase in the volume of the metal box.
$3 a^{3} \alpha \Delta T$
$4 a ^{3} \alpha \Delta T$
$4 \pi a ^{3} \alpha \Delta T$
$\frac{4}{3} \pi a ^{3} \alpha \Delta T$

A beaker is completely filled with water at $4°C$. It will overflow if
Two metal strips that constitute a thermostat must necessarily differ in their
A circular metallic ring of radius $R$ has a small gap of width $d$. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal is $\alpha$ in appropriate units. If we increase the temperature of the ring by an amount $\Delta T$, then width of the gap
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 ......... $N$ $(\alpha = 10^{-5}/\,^oC,\,\,Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$
