$A$ hole is drilled in a metal sheet. At $27^{\circ}C$,the diameter of the hole is $5\,cm$. When the sheet is heated to $177^{\circ}C$,the change in the diameter of the hole is $d \times 10^{-3}\,cm$. The value of $d$ will be $...........$ if the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $1.6 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$.

$A$ $1$ litre glass flask contains some mercury. It is found that at different temperatures,the volume of air inside the flask remains the same. What is the volume of mercury in this flask in $cc$ if the coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $9 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$ and the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is $1.8 \times 10^{-4} /^{\circ}C$?

$A$ steel tape is calibrated at $20^{\circ} C$. On a cold day when the temperature is $-15^{\circ} C$,the percentage error in the tape will be ........... $\%$ $\left[\alpha_{\text{steel}} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}\right]$

The coefficient of linear expansion of a crystal in one direction is ${\alpha _1}$ and that in every direction perpendicular to it is ${\alpha _2}$. The coefficient of cubical expansion is

What is thermal expansion? Write only its types.

$A$ rod of length $10 \, m$ at $0 \, ^oC$ has a linear expansion coefficient $\alpha = (2x^2 + 1) \times 10^{-6} \, ^oC^{-1}$,where $x$ is the distance from one end of the rod. The length of the rod at $10 \, ^oC$ is: (in $, m$)
