$A$ piece of metal has a weight of $49 \ gm$ in air and $39 \ gm$ in a liquid of density $1.2 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$ kept at $32^{\circ}C$. When the temperature of the liquid is raised to $42^{\circ}C$,the metal piece has a weight of $40 \ gm$. If the density of the liquid at $42^{\circ}C$ is $1.0 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$,then the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is:

$A$ uniform rod of length $L$ pivoted at one end $P$ is freely rotated in a horizontal plane with an angular velocity $\omega$ about a vertical axis passing through $P$. If the temperature of the system is increased by $\Delta T$, the angular velocity becomes $\frac{\omega}{2}$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the rod is $\alpha$ (where $\alpha \ll 1$), then $\Delta T$ will be:

$A$ 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: $\alpha = 10^{-5} {^{\circ}C}^{-1}$)

$A$ 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:
