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
If two rods of length $L$ and $2L$ having coefficients of linear expansion $\alpha$ and $2\alpha$ respectively are connected so that total length becomes $3L$, the average coefficient of linear expansion of the composition rod equals:
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 bimetallic strip is formed out of two identical strips, one of copper and other of brass. The coefficients of linear expansion of the two metals are ${\alpha _C}$ and ${\alpha _{B}}.$ On heating, the temperature of the strip goes up by $\Delta T$ and the strip bends to form an arc of radius of curvature $R.$ Then $R$ is
A hole is drilled in a copper sheet. The diameter of the hole is $4.24\; cm$ at $27.0\,^{\circ} C$ What is the change in the diameter of the hole when the sheet is heated to $227\,^{\circ} C ?$ Coefficient of linear expansion of copper $=1.70 \times 10^{-5}\; K ^{-1}$
A copper rod of $88\; \mathrm{cm}$ and an aluminum rod of unknown length have their increase in length independent of increase in temperature. The length of aluminum rod is....$cm$
$( \alpha_{Cu}=1.7 \times 10^{-5}\; \mathrm{K}^{-1}$ and $\alpha_{Al}=2.2 \times 10^{-5} \;\mathrm{K}^{-1} ) $
