Three rods of equal length $l$ are joined to form an equilateral triangle $PQR.$ $O$ is the mid point of $PQ.$ Distance $OR$ remains same for small change in temperature. Coefficient of linear expansion for $PR$ and $RQ$ is same i.e. ${\alpha _2}$ but that for $PQ$ is ${\alpha _1}$. Then relation between ${\alpha _1}$ and ${\alpha _2}$ is
${\alpha _2} = 3{\alpha _1}$
${\alpha _2} = 4{\alpha _1}$
${\alpha _1} = 3{\alpha _2}$
${\alpha _1} = 4{\alpha _2}$
The coefficient of superficial expansion of a solid is $2 \times 10^{-5} {°C^{-1}}$. It's coefficient of linear expansion is
An ideal gas is expanding such that ${PT}^{3}=$ constant. The coefficient of volume expansion of the gas is:
Why the density is changed of solid substances by increase in temperature ?
A metallic bar of Young's modulus, $0.5 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}$ and coefficient of linear thermal expansion $10^{-5}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}$, length $1 \mathrm{~m}$ and area of cross-section $10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^2$ is heated from $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ without expansion or bending. The compressive force developed in it is :
We are able to squeeze snow and make balls out of it because of
