The real coefficient of volume expansion of glycerine is $0.000597\, per°C$ and linear coefficient of expansion of glass is $0.000009\, per°C.$ Then the apparent volume coefficient of expansion of glycerine is
$0.000558 \,per°C$
$0.00057 \,per°C$
$0.00027 \,per°C$
$0.00066\, per°C$
Two rods of different materials having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha_1$and $\alpha_2$ and Young's modulii $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If $\alpha_1:\alpha_2= 2 : 3$, the thermal stress developed in two rods are equal provided $Y_1 : Y_2$ is equal to
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 $=0.91 \times 10^{11} \;Pa$
A beaker is filled with water at $4\,^oC$. At one time the temperature is increased by few degrees above $4\,^oC$ and at another time it is decreased by a few degrees below $4\,^oC$. One shall observe that:
A cylindrical metal rod of length $L_0$ is shaped into a ring with a small gap as shown. On heating the system
Thermal expansion of a solid is due to the
