In a thermostat two metal strips are used, which have different ............

A bimetallic strip consists of metals $X$ and $Y$. It is mounted rigidly at the base as shown. The metal $X$ has a higher coefficient of expansion compared to that for metal $Y$. When the bimetallic strip is placed in a cold bath:

Two rods of different materials having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha_1$and $\alpha_2$ and  Young's modulii $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If  $\alpha_1:\alpha_2= 2 : 3$, the thermal stress developed in two rods are equal provided $Y_1 : Y_2$ is equal to

A rod of length $2m$ rests on smooth horizontal floor. If the rod is heated from $0^o C$ to $20^o C$. Find the longitudinal strain developed? $(\alpha = 5 × 10^{-5}/^o C)$

Ratio among linear expansion coefficient ($\alpha$), areal expansion coefficient ($\beta$) and volume expansion coefficient ($\gamma$) is

The real coefficient of volume expansion of glycerine is $0.000597\, per°C$ and linear coefficient of expansion of glass is $0.000009\, per°C.$ Then the apparent volume coefficient of expansion of glycerine is
