Suppose there is a hole in a copper plate. On heating the plate, diameter of hole, would

Solids expand on heating because ................

$50\, gm$ of copper is heated to increase its temperature by $10\,^oC$. If the same quantity of heat is given to $10\, gm$ of water, the rise in its temperature is ........ $^oC$ (Specific heat of copper $=420\, Joule\, kg^{-1}\,^oC^{-1}$)

A centigrade and a Fahrenheit thermometer are dipped in boiling water. The temperature is lowered until the Fahrenheit thermometer registers $140^o$ . ........ $^oC$ is the fall in temperature as registered by the Centigrade thermometer

A pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0\,^oC$. The thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the pendulum is $\alpha $. If the temperature rises to $t\,^oC$, then the clock loses per day by (in second)

A steel tape measures the length of a copper rod as $90\, cm$ when both are at $10\,^oC$. ........ $cm$ would the tape read for the length of rod when both are at $30\,^oC$ ? $[\alpha _{st} = 1.2\times10^{-5}/^oC$ and $\alpha _{cu} = 1.7\times10^{-5}/^oC]$
