Give name of substance that contracts with increase in temperature.
The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid when determined using two different vessels $A$ and $B$ are $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ respectively. If the coefficient of linear expansion of vessel $A$ is $\alpha$, the coefficient of linear expansion of vessel $B$ is
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
A flask of volume $10^3 cc$ is completely filled with mercury at $0 ^oC$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is $180 × 10^{-6} / ^oC$ and that of glass is $40 × 10^{-6}/ ^oC$. If the flask is now placed in boiling water at $100\ ^oC$, ........ $cc$ mercury will overflow
The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid in a copper vessel is $C$ and in a silver vessel is $ S$. The coefficient of volume expansion of copper is $\gamma_c$. What is the coefficient of linear expansion of silver?
