If a bimetallic strip is heated it will
Bend towards the metal with lower thermal expansion coefficient.
Bend towards the metal with higher thermal expansion coefficient.
Not bend at all

The density of water at $20^oC$ is $0.998\, gm/cm^3$ and at $40^oC$ is $0.992\, gm/cm^3$. The mean coefficient of cubical expansion (in per $^oC$) is :-
$2\,g$ of steam condenses when passed through $40\,g$ of water initially at $25\,^oC$. The condensation of steam raises the temperature of water to $54.3\,^oC$, ........ $cal/g$ is the latent heat of steam ?
A lead bullet at $27\,^oC$ just melts when stopped by an obstacle. Assuming that $25\%$ of heat is absorbed by the obstacle, then the velocity of the bullet at the time of striking is ........ $m/s$ ($M.P.$ of lead $= 327\,^oC,$ specific heat of lead $= 0.03\,cal/g\,^oC,$ latent heat of fusion of lead $= 6\,cal/g$ and $J = 4.2\,joule/cal$ )
The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $153 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$ and in a steel vessel is $144 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$, then that of glass is
$540\, g$ of ice at $0\,^oC$ is mixed with $540\, g$ water at $80\,^oC$ . The final temperature of the mixture is
