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 $\Delta T$.
Suppose mass of rod is $\mathrm{M}$ and moment of inertia is $\mathrm{I}$. Moment of inertia of rod about perpendicular bisector,
$I=\frac{M l^{2}}{l^{2}}$
Increase in length due to increase in temperature $\Delta \mathrm{T}$, $\Delta l=l \alpha \Delta \mathrm{T}$
$\therefore$ Now, new moment of inertia of rod,
$\mathrm{I}^{\prime} =\frac{\mathrm{M}}{12}(l+\Delta l)^{2}$
$=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{12}\left(l^{2}+2 l \Delta l+\Delta l^{2}\right)$
But, $\Delta l$ is very small, $\Delta l^{2}$ is neglected.
$\mathrm{I}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{12}\left(l^{2}+2 l \Delta l\right)$
$=\frac{\mathrm{M} l^{2}}{12}+\frac{\mathrm{M} l \Delta l}{6}$
$=\mathrm{I}+\frac{\mathrm{M} l \Delta l}{6}$

An open vessel is filled completely with oil which has same coefficient of volume expansion as that of the vessel. On heating both oil and vessel,
The loss in weight of a solid when immersed in a liquid at $0^o C$ is $W_0$ and at $t^o C$ is $W$. If cubical coefficient of expansion of the solid and the liquid by $\gamma_s$ and $\gamma_l$ respectively, then $W$ is equal to :
A hole is drilled in a metal sheet. At $27^{\circ}\,C$, the diameter of hole is $5\,cm$. When the sheet is heated to $177^{\circ}\,C$, the change in the diameter of hole is $d \times$ $10^{-3}\,cm$. The value of $d$ will be $...........$ if coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $1.6 \times$ $10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ}\,C$
