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

A circular metallic ring of radius $R$ has a small gap of width $d$. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal is $\alpha$ in appropriate units. If we increase the temperature of the ring by an amount $\Delta T$, then width of the gap

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 ……….

A brass disc fits simply in a hole of a steel plate. The disc from the hole can be loosened if the system

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$…cm$

$\left(\alpha_{\text {iron }}=1.2 \times 10^{-5} K ^{-1}\right.$ and $\left.\alpha_{\text {brass }}=1.8 \times 10^{-5} K ^{-1}\right)$.
