Two metal strips that constitute a thermostat must necessarily differ in their
Mass
Length
Resistivity
Coefficient of linear expansion
At what temperature (in $ ^{\circ} C$) a gold ring of diameter $6.230$ $cm$ be heated so that it can be fitted on a wooden bangle of diameter $6.241 \,cm$ ? Both the diameters have been measured at room temperature $\left(27^{\circ} C \right)$. (Given: coefficient of linear thermal expansion of gold $\alpha_{L}=1.4 \times 10^{-5} \,K ^{-1}$ )
If the length of the pendulum in pendulum clock increases by $0.1\, \%$, then the error in time per day is: (in $s$)
We are able to squeeze snow and make balls out of it because of
On heating a uniform metallic cylinder length increases by $3 \%$. The area of cross-section of its base will increase by ........... $\%$
A one litre glass flask contains some mercury. It is found that at different temperatures the volume of air inside the flak remains the same. ...... $cc$ is the volume of mercury in this flask if coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $9 \times 10^{-6} /^o C$ while of volume expansion of mercury is $1.8 \times {10^4}\,/^\circ C$
