slope of line $AB$ is $1/9$
slope of line $AB$ is $3/9$
A constant volume gas thermometer shows pressure reading of $50 \,cm$ and $90 \,cm$ of mercury at $0^{\circ} C$ and $100^{\circ} C$ respectively. When the pressure reading is $60 \,cm$ of mercury, the temperature is ......... $^{\circ} C$
The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $153\times 10^{-6}/\,^oC$ and in a steel vessel is $144\times 10^{-6}/\,^oC.$ If $\alpha $ for steel is $12 \times 10^{-6}/\,^oC,$ then $\alpha $ that of glass is
Six identical conducting rods are joined as shown. The ends $A$ and $D$ are maintained at $200\,^oC$ and $20\,^oC$ respectively. No heat is lost to surroundings. The temperature of the junction $C$ will be ........ $^oC$
Steam at $100\,^oC$ is more dangerous than the same mass of water at $100\,^oC$ because the steam
A bimetallic strip consists of metals $A$ and $B$ . It is mounted rigidly at the base as shown. The metal $A$ has a higher coefficient of expansion to that for metal $B$ . When bimetallic strip is placed in a cold bath it will
