$A$ unit scale is to be prepared whose length does not change with temperature and remains $20\,cm$,using a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length. The length of both components would change in such a way that the difference between their lengths remains constant. If the length of brass is $40\,cm$,what is the length of iron in $cm$?
($\alpha_{\text{iron}} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} K^{-1}$ and $\alpha_{\text{brass}} = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} K^{-1}$)

  • A
    $59$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $60$
  • D
    $600$

$A$ 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

On what does the value of the coefficient of linear expansion depend?

An iron rod has a length of $10 \ cm$ at $20^{\circ}C$. What will be the change in length of the iron rod at $19^{\circ}C$? (Given for iron,$\alpha = 11 \times 10^{-6} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$)

$A$ pendulum clock shows the correct time at $20^{\circ}C$. During summer days,when the temperature rises to $40^{\circ}C$,what will be the time change in the clock in one day (in $.64$)? (Given: $\alpha = 10^{-5} {^{\circ}C}^{-1}$)

$A$ rod of length $2 \ m$ at $0^\circ C$ has a linear expansion coefficient $\alpha = (3x + 2) \times 10^{-6} \ ^\circ C^{-1}$,where $x$ is the distance (in $cm$) from one end of the rod. Find the length of the rod at $20^\circ C$ in meters.
