A beaker is filled with water at $4\,^oC$. At one time the temperature is increased by few degrees above $4\,^oC$ and at another time it is decreased by a few degrees below $4\,^oC$. One shall observe that:

The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $153 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and in steel vessel is $144 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C ,$ then that of glass is

What will happen if a rod is tied with fixed supports rigidly at both ends and temperature is increased ?

Three rods of equal length $l$ are joined to form an equilateral triangle $PQR.$ $O$ is the mid point of $PQ.$ Distance $OR$ remains same for small change in temperature. Coefficient of linear expansion for $PR$ and $RQ$ is same i.e. ${\alpha _2}$ but that for $PQ$ is ${\alpha _1}$. Then relation between ${\alpha _1}$ and ${\alpha _2}$ is

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 :
