A constant volume gas thermometer shows pressure reading of $50 \,cm$ and $90 \,cm$ of mercury at $0^{\circ} C$ and $100^{\circ} C$ respectively. When the pressure reading is $60 \,cm$ of mercury, the temperature is ......... $^{\circ} C$

A solid cube having certain fixed melting and boiling points takes heat from some source. The variation of temperature $\theta$ of the cube with the heat supplied $Q$ is shown in the adjoining graph. The portion $BC$ of the graph represents the conversion of

A rod is fixed between two points at $20\,^oC$ . The coefficient of linear expansion of material of rod is $1.1 \times 10^{-5}/\,^oC$ and Young's modulus is $1.2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$. Find the stress developed in the rod if temperature of rod becomes $10\,^oC$

A flask of volume $10^3\ cc$ is completely filled with mercury at $0\,^oC$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is $180 \times 10^{-6}/^oC$ and that of glass is $40 \times 10^{-6}/^oC$. If the flask is now placed in boiling water at $100\,^oC$, ........ $cc$ mercury will overflow

Mercury is of ten used in clinical thermometers. Which one of the following properties of mercury is not a reason for this?

$200\, g$ of a solid ball at $20\,^oC$ is dropped in an equal amount of water at $80\,^oC$. The resulting temperature is $60\,^oC$. This means that specific heat of solid is
