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:
$0.008$
$0.06$
$0.8$
$2.3$
A bimetallic strip consists of metals $X$ and $Y$. It is mounted rigidly at the base as shown. The metal $X$ has a higher coefficient of expansion compared to that for metal $Y$. When the bimetallic strip is placed in a cold bath:
A student records the initial length $l$, change in temperature $\Delta T$ and change in length $\Delta l$ of a rod as follows :
S.No. | $l(m)$ | $\Delta T{(^o}C)$ | $\Delta l(m)$ |
$(1)$ | $2$ | $10$ | $4\times 10^{-4}$ |
$(2)$ | $1$ | $10$ | $4\times 10^{-4}$ |
$(3)$ | $2$ | $20$ | $2\times 10^{-4}$ |
$(4)$ | $3$ | $10$ | $6\times 10^{-4}$ |
If the first observation is correct, what can you say about observations $2,\,3$ and $4$.
A vertical column $50$ $cm$ long at $50°C$ balances another column of same liquid $60 \,cm$ long at $100°C$. The coefficient of absolute expansion of the liquid is
What is areal expansion ? Give definition and unit of coefficient of areal expansion.
A rail track made of steel having length $10\,m$ is clamped on a railway line at its two ends as shown in figure. On a summer day due to rise in temperature by $20\,^oC$ , it is deformed as shown in figure. Find $x$ (displacement of the centre) if $\alpha _{steel} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \,^oC^{-1}$
