$A$ 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 linear expansion compared to that for metal $Y$. When the bimetallic strip is placed in a cold bath:

Two rods of different metals have coefficients of linear expansion $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ respectively. Their respective lengths are $L_1$ and $L_2$. At all temperatures,$(L_2 - L_1)$ remains the same. The correct relation is:

As shown in the figure,an equilateral triangle $ABC$ is formed by joining three rods of equal lengths $l$. $D$ is the midpoint of $AB$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the material of rod $AB$ is $\alpha_1$ and that of rods $AC$ and $BC$ is $\alpha_2$. If the length $DC$ remains constant for small changes in temperature,then:

The coefficient of linear expansion depends on

The volume of the bulb of a mercury thermometer at $0^\circ C$ is $V_0$ and the cross-section of the capillary is $A_0$. The coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $a_g$ per $^\circ C$ and the coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is $\gamma_m$ per $^\circ C$. If the mercury just fills the bulb at $0^\circ C$,what is the length of the mercury column in the capillary at $T^\circ C$?

The density of a substance at $0^{\circ}C$ is $10 \, g/cm^3$ and at $100^{\circ}C$,its density is $9.7 \, g/cm^3$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the substance is:
