An iron bar of length $10\, m$ is heated from $0°C$ to $100°C.$ If the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of iron is $ 10 \times 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$, the increase in the length of bar is  .......... $cm$ 

A beaker of height $H$ is made up of a material whose coefficient of linear thermal expansion is $3\alpha $ . It is filled up to the brim by a liquid whose coefficient of thermal expansion is $\alpha $. If now the beaker along with its contents is uniformly heated through a small temperature $T$ the level of liquid will reduce by (given $\alpha  << 1$) 

Two marks on a glass rod $10\, cm$ apart are found to increase their distance by $0.08\, mm$ when the rod is heated from $0\,^oC$ to $100\,^oC$. A flask made of the same glass as that of rod measures a volume $1000\, cc$ at $0\,^oC$. The volume it measures at $100\,^oC$ in $cc$ is

Coefficient of linear expansion of brass and steel rods are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$. Lengths of brass and steel rods are $l_1$ and $l_2$ respectively. If $\left(l_2-l_1\right)$ is maintained same at all temperatures, which one of the following relations holds good?
