The apparent coefficient of expansion of a liquid when heated in a brass vessel is $X$ and when heated in a tin vessel is $Y$. If $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion for brass, the coefficient of linear expansion of tin is ..........
$\frac{X+Y+3 \alpha}{3}$
$\frac{x+3 \alpha-Y}{3}$
$\frac{X+Y-2 \alpha}{3}$
$\frac{(X+Y-2 \alpha)}{2}$
A metal ball immersed in alcohol weighs ${W_1}$ at $0°C$ and ${W_2}$ at $59°C.$ The coefficient of cubical expansion of the metal is less than that of alcohol. Assuming that the density of metal is large compared to that of alcohol, it can be shown that
The length of a metallic rod is $5m$ at $0°C$ and becomes $ 5.01\, m$, on heating upto $100°C$. The linear expansion of the metal will be
A hole is drilled in a metal sheet. At $27^{\circ}\,C$, the diameter of hole is $5\,cm$. When the sheet is heated to $177^{\circ}\,C$, the change in the diameter of hole is $d \times$ $10^{-3}\,cm$. The value of $d$ will be $...........$ if coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $1.6 \times$ $10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ}\,C$
An aluminium sphere of $20 \;cm$ diameter is heated from $0^{\circ} C$ to $100^{\circ} C$. Its volume changes by (given that coefficient of linear expansion for aluminium $\alpha_{A l}=23 \times 10^{-6}\;/{^o}C$
A vertical column $50$ $cm$ long at $50°C$ balances another column of same liquid $60 \,cm$ long at $100°C$. The coefficient of absolute expansion of the liquid is
