Suppose there is a hole in a copper plate. On heating the plate, diameter of hole, would
always increase
always decrease
always remain the same
none of these
What will happen if a rod is tied with fixed supports rigidly at both ends and temperature is increased ?
The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $132 ×\times10^{-6}/^oC$ and in a steel vessel is $114 \times 10^{-6}/^oC$ . If $\alpha $ for steel is $12 \times 10^{-6}/^oC$ , then that of glass is
The scale on a steel metre stick is calibrated at $20^o\,C$.The error in the reading of $50\,cm$ at $30^o\,C$ is: (take linear expansion coefficient of steel $= 1.0 \times 10^{-5} / ^oC)$
Given below are two statement : one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$ : When a rod lying freely is heated, no thermal stress is developed in it.
Reason $R :$ On heating the length of the rod increases.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
The coefficient of linear expansion of crystal in one direction is ${\alpha _1}$ and that in every direction perpendicular to it is ${\alpha _2}$. The coefficient of cubical expansion is
