Two holes of unequal diameters $d_1$ and $d_2\, (d_1 > d_2)$ are cut in a metal sheet. If the sheet is heated
both $d_1$ and $d_2$ will decrease
both $d_1$ and $d_2$ will increase
$d_1$ will increase, $d_2$ will decrease
$d_1$ will decrease, $d_2$ will increase
A pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0\,^oC$. The thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the pendulum is $\alpha $. If the temperature rises to $t\,^oC$, then the clock loses per day by (in second)
If an electric heater is rated at $1000\,W$, then the time required to heat one litre of water from $20\,^oC$ to $60\,^oC$ is
Explain why :
$(a)$ a body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter
$(b)$ a brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day
$(c)$ an optical pyrometer (for measuring high temperatures) calibrated for an ideal black body radiation gives too low a value for the temperature of a red hot iron piece in the open, but gives a correct value for the temperature when the same piece is in the furnace
$(d)$ the earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold
$(e)$ heating systems based on circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on circulation of hot water
Some steam at $100^o \,\,C$ is passed into $1.1 \,\,kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.02\,\, kg$ at $15^o C$ so that the temperature of the calorimeter and its contents rises to $80^o \,\,C$. What is the mass of steam condensing. (in $kg$)
If the volume of a block of metal changes by $0.12\%$ when it is heated thrugh $20\,^oC$, the coefficient of linear expansion (in $^o{C^{ - 1}}$) of the metal is
