$A$ beaker of height $H$ is made up of a material whose coefficient of linear thermal expansion is $3\alpha$. It is filled up to the brim by a liquid whose coefficient of thermal expansion is $\alpha$. If now the beaker along with its contents is uniformly heated through a small temperature $T$,the level of liquid will reduce by (given $\alpha T << 1$):

  • A
    $5 \alpha TH$
  • B
    $3 \alpha TH$
  • C
    $2 \alpha TH$
  • D
    $8 \alpha TH$

$A$ metal ball immersed in alcohol weighs $W_1$ at $0^{\circ}C$ and $W_2$ at $59^{\circ}C$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of the metal is less than that of alcohol. Assuming that the density of metal is large compared to that of alcohol,it can be shown that

$A$ sphere of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ having initial radius $R$ is placed in an environment having ambient temperature $> 0^{\circ}C$. The ice melts uniformly,such that the shape remains spherical. After a time $t$,the radius of the sphere has reduced to $r$. Assuming the rate of heat absorption is proportional to the surface area of the sphere at any moment,which graph best depicts $r(t)$?
