A lead bullet at $27\,^oC$ just melts when stopped by an obstacle. Assuming that $25\%$ of heat is absorbed by the obstacle, then the velocity of the bullet at the time of striking is ........ $m/s$ ($M.P.$ of lead $= 327\,^oC,$ specific heat of lead $= 0.03\,cal/g\,^oC,$ latent heat of fusion of lead $= 6\,cal/g$ and $J = 4.2\,joule/cal$ )

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
