$A$ thin copper wire of length $l$ metre increases in length by $2\%$ when heated through $10^{\circ}C$. The percentage increase in area when a square copper sheet of side $l$ metre is heated through $10^{\circ}C$ is:

An iron tyre is to be fitted onto a wooden wheel $1 \, m$ in diameter. The diameter of the tyre is $6 \, mm$ smaller than that of the wheel. The tyre should be heated so that its temperature increases by a minimum of ........ $^oC$ (the coefficient of cubical expansion of iron is $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \, ^oC^{-1}$).

$A$ bimetallic strip is formed out of two identical strips,one of copper and the other of brass. The coefficients of linear expansion of the two metals are $\alpha_C$ and $\alpha_B$. On heating,the temperature of the strip increases by $\Delta T$ and the strip bends to form an arc of radius $R$. Then $R$ is proportional to

$A$ clock pendulum made of invar has a period of $0.5 \, s$ at $20^{\circ} C$. If the clock is used in a climate where the temperature averages to $30^{\circ} C$, how much time does the clock lose in each oscillation? (For invar, $\alpha = 9 \times 10^{-7} /{ }^{\circ} C$, $g = \text{constant}$)

$A$ uniform metal bar of length $10 \ m$ with a crack at its midpoint is clamped between two rigid supports. The bar buckles upward due to a temperature rise of $40^{\circ} C$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$,the maximum displacement of the midpoint of the bar is: (in $cm$)

Two holes of unequal diameters $d_1$ and $d_2$ $(d_1 > d_2)$ are cut in a metal sheet. If the sheet is heated,then:
