The figure shows a glass tube (linear co-efficient of expansion is $\alpha$) completely filled with a liquid of volume expansion co-efficient $\gamma$. On heating length of the liquid column does not change. Choose the correct relation between $\gamma$ and $\alpha$
$\gamma=\alpha$
$\gamma= 2\alpha$
$\gamma= 3\alpha$
$\gamma = \frac{\alpha }{3}$
Mercury is of ten used in clinical thermometers. Which one of the following properties of mercury is not a reason for this?
Two holes of unequal diameters $d_1$ and $d_2\, (d_1 > d_2)$ are cut in a metal sheet. If the sheet is heated
$50\, gm$ 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 $=420\, Joule\, kg^{-1}\,^oC^{-1}$)
$50\,g$ of copper is heated to increase is temperature by $10\,^oC$. If the same quantity of heat is given to $10\,g$ of water, the rise in its temperature is ........ $^oC$ (Specific heat of copper $= 420\,J-kg^{-1}\,^oC^{-1}$ )
$200\, g$ of a solid ball at $20\,^oC$ is dropped in an equal amount of water at $80\,^oC$ . The resulting temperature is $60\,^oC$ . This means that specific heat of solid is
