$A$ piece of metal has a weight of $49 \ gm$ in air and $39 \ gm$ in a liquid of density $1.2 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$ kept at $32^{\circ}C$. When the temperature of the liquid is raised to $42^{\circ}C$,the metal piece has a weight of $40 \ gm$. If the density of the liquid at $42^{\circ}C$ is $1.0 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$,then the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is:

  • A
    $\frac{8}{3} \times 10^{-3} /^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $\frac{11}{3} \times 10^{-3} /^{\circ}C$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3} \times 10^{-4} /^{\circ}C$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{3} \times 10^{-3} /^{\circ}C$

$A$ large steel wheel is to be fitted onto a shaft of the same material. At $27^{\circ}C$,the outer diameter of the shaft is $8.70\;cm$ and the diameter of the central hole in the wheel is $8.69\;cm$. The shaft is cooled using 'dry ice'. At what temperature (in $^{\circ}C$) of the shaft does the wheel slip on the shaft? Assume the coefficient of linear expansion of the steel to be constant over the required temperature range: $\alpha_{steel} = 1.20 \times 10^{-5}\;K^{-1}$.

When the temperature of a body increases from $T$ to $T+\Delta T$,its moment of inertia increases from $I$ to $I+\Delta I$. If $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the body,then $\frac{\Delta I}{I}$ is (neglect higher orders of $\alpha$ ).
