If the volume of a block of metal changes by $0.12\%$ when it is heated thrugh $20\,^oC$, the coefficient of linear expansion (in $^o{C^{ - 1}}$) of the metal is

A pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0\ ^oC$. The thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the  material of the pendulum is $\alpha$. If the temperature rises to $t\ ^oC$, then the clock loses per day by (in second)

The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid when determined using two different vessels $A$ and $B$ are $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ respectively. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the vessel $A$ is $\alpha $, then coefficient of linear expansion of $B$

An iron ball of mass $0.2\,kg$ is heated to $10\,^oC$ and put into a block of ice at $0\,^oC.$ $25\,g$ of ice melts. If the latent heat of fusion of ice is $80\,cal/g,$ then the specific heat of iron in $cal/g\,^oC$ is

Solids expand on heating because ................

The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid when determined using two different vessels $A$ and $B$ are ${\gamma _1}$ and ${\gamma _2}$  respectively. If the coefficient of linear expansion of vessel $A$ is $\alpha $, the coefficient of linear expansion of vessel $B$ is
