The volume of a metal sphere increases by $0.24\%$ when its temperature is raised by $40°C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is .......... $°C$
$2 \times 10^{-5}$
$6 \times 10^{-5}$
$2.1 \times 10^{-5}$
$1.2 \times 10^{-5}$
The apparent coefficient of expansion of a liquid when heated in a copper vessel is $C$ and when heated in a silver vessel is $S$. If $A$ is the linear coefficient of expansion of copper, then the linear coefficient of expansion of silver is
If the length of the pendulum in pendulum clock increases by $0.1\, \%$, then the error in time per day is: (in $s$)
Two rods, one of aluminum and the other made of steel, having initial length ${l_1}$ and ${l_2}$ are connected together to form a single rod of length ${l_1} + {l_2}$. The coefficients of linear expansion for aluminum and steel are ${\alpha _a}$ and ${\alpha _s}$ respectively. If the length of each rod increases by the same amount when their temperature are raised by ${t^o}C$, then find the ratio $\frac{{{l_1}}}{{({l_1} + {l_2})}}$
''Anomalous expansion of water is blessing for living organisms in water''. Explain this statement. Explain Anomalous expansion of water.
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 $= 1.0 \times 10^{-5} / ^oC)$
