$A$ uniform metal rod is used as a bar pendulum. If the room temperature rises by $10^{\circ}C$,and the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal of the rod is $2 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$,the period of the pendulum will have a percentage increase of:

  • A
    $-2 \times 10^{-3} \%$
  • B
    $-1 \times 10^{-3} \%$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-3} \%$
  • D
    $1 \times 10^{-3} \%$

The gap between any two rails, each of length $l$ laid on a railway track, is equal to $x$ at $27\,^{\circ}C$. When the temperature rises to $40\,^{\circ}C$, the gap closes up. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the rail is $\alpha$, the length $l$ of a rail at $27\,^{\circ}C$ is:

Coefficient of linear expansion of brass and steel rods are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$. Lengths of brass and steel rods are $l_1$ and $l_2$ respectively. If $(l_2 - l_1)$ is maintained same at all temperatures,which one of the following relations holds good?

If the temperature of a rod is increased in such a way that no linear expansion occurs,then the stress developed in the rod does not depend on .......

Two large holes are cut in a metal sheet. If this sheet is heated,what happens to the distances $AB$ and $BC$ as shown in the figure?

Each side of a cubic metal box is $a$ at room temperature $T$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal sheet is $\alpha$. The metal box is heated uniformly by a small temperature $\Delta T$,so that its new temperature is $T + \Delta T$. Calculate the increase in the volume of the metal box.
