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 ?

A brass wire $1.8\; m$ long at $27\,^{\circ} C$ is held taut with little tension between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled to a temperature of $-39\,^{\circ} C ,$ what is the tension developed in the wire, if its diameter is $2.0 \;mm$ ? Co-efficient of Itnear expansion of brass $=2.0 \times 10^{-5}\; K ^{-1} ;$ Young's modulus of brass $=0.91 \times 10^{11} \;Pa$

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

A solid ball of metal has a concentric spherical cavity within it. If the ball is heated, the volume of the cavity will

The diagram below shows the change in the length $X$ of a thin uniform wire caused by the application of stress $F$ at two different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$. The variation shown suggests that

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 $= 1.0 \times 10^{-5} /  ^oC)$
