The ratio of the coefficient of volume expansion of a glass container to that of a viscous liquid kept inside the container is $1 : 4$. What fraction of the inner volume of the container should the liquid occupy so that the volume of the remaining vacant space will be same at all temperatures ?

Two different wires having lengths $L _{1}$ and $L _{2}$ and respective temperature coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha_{1}$ and $\alpha_{2},$ are joined end-to-end. Then the effective temperature coefficient of linear expansion is

What will be the difference in volume of water when it is heated from $0\,^oC$ to $10\,^oC$ ?

The value of coefficient of volume expansion of glycerin is $5 \times 10^{-4}k^{-1} .$ The fractional change in the density of glycerin for a rise of $40^o C$ in its temperature, is

An aluminium sphere of $20 \;cm$ diameter is heated from $0^{\circ} C$ to $100^{\circ} C$. Its volume changes by (given that coefficient of linear expansion for aluminium $\alpha_{A l}=23 \times 10^{-6}\;/{^o}C$

The scale on a steel metre stick is calibrated at $20^o\,C$.The error in the reading of $50\,cm$ at $30^o\,C$ is: (take linear expansion coefficient of steel $= 1.0 \times 10^{-5} /  ^oC)$
