Ratio among linear expansion coefficient ($\alpha$), areal expansion coefficient ($\beta$) and volume expansion coefficient ($\gamma$) is
$1:2:3$
$3:2:1$
$4:3:2$
None of these
In cold countries, water pipes sometimes burst, because
Show that the coefficient of area expansion, $(\Delta A / A) / \Delta T,$ of a rectangular sheet of the solid is twice its Iinear expansivity, $\alpha_{1}$
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
Give name of substance that contracts with increase in temperature.
$Assertion :$ In pressure-temperature $(P-T)$ phase diagram of water, the slope of the melting curve is found to be negative.
$Reason :$ Ice contracts on melting to water.
