Thermal expansion of a solid is due to the
symmetric characteristic of the inter atomic potential energy curve of the solid
asymmetric characteristic of the inter atomic potential energy curve of the solid
double well nature of the inter atomic potential energy curve of the solid
rotational motion of the atoms of the solid
Why the coefficient of volume expansion is zero for water at $4\,^oC$?
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
A metal ball immersed in alcohol weighs ${W_1}$ at $0°C$ and ${W_2}$ at $59°C.$ The coefficient of cubical expansion of the metal is less than that of alcohol. Assuming that the density of metal is large compared to that of alcohol, it can be shown that
A brass rod of length $50\; cm$ and diameter $3.0 \;mm$ is jotned to a steel rod of the same length and diameter. What is the change in length of the combined rod at $250\,^{\circ} C ,$ if the original lengths are at $40.0\,^{\circ} C ?$ Is there a 'thermal stress' developed at the junction? The ends of the rod are free to expand (Co-efficient of linear expansion of brass $=2.0 \times 10^{-5} \;K ^{-1},$ steel $=1.2 \times 10^{-5}\; K ^{-1} J$
When the temperature of a metal wire is increased from $0^{\circ} \,C$ to $10^{\circ}\, C$, its length increases by $0.02 \% .$ The percentage change in its mass density will be closest to:
