The coefficient of linear expansion of brass and steel are ${\alpha _1}$ and ${\alpha _2}$. If we take a brass rod of length ${l_1}$ and steel rod of length ${l_2}$ at $0°C$, their difference in length $({l_2} - {l_1})$ will remain the same at a temperature if

  • A

    ${\alpha _1}{l_2} = {\alpha _2}{l_1}$

  • B

    ${\alpha _1}l_2^2 = {\alpha _2}l_1^2$

  • C

    $\alpha _1^2{l_1} = \alpha _2^2{l_2}$

  • D

    ${\alpha _1}{l_1} = {\alpha _2}{l_2}$

A unit scale is to be prepared whose length does not change with temperature and remains $20\,cm$, using a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length. The length of both components would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remains constant. If length of brass is $40\,cm$ and length of iron will be$...cm$

A surveyor's $30$-$m$ steel tape is correct at some temperutre. On a hot day the tape has expanded to $30.01$ $m$. On that day, the tape indicates a distance of $15.52$ $m$ between two points. The true distance between these points is :-

A simple pendulum made of a bob of mass $m$ and a metallic wire of negligible mass has time period $2s$ at  $T = 0\,^oC$ . If the temeprature of the wire is increased and the corresponding change in its time peirod is plotted against its temperature, the resulting graph is a line of slope $S$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of metal is $\alpha $ then the value of  $S$ is
