$A$ hole is drilled in a copper sheet. The diameter of the hole is $4.24 \,cm$ at $27.0^{\circ} C$. What is the diameter of the hole when it is heated to $35^{\circ} C$?

Two marks on a glass rod $10 \ cm$ apart are found to increase their distance by $0.08 \ mm$ when the rod is heated from $0 \ ^\circ C$ to $100 \ ^\circ C$. $A$ flask made of the same glass as that of the rod measures a volume $1000 \ cc$ at $0 \ ^\circ C$. The volume it measures at $100 \ ^\circ C$ in $cc$ is:

Two rods $A$ and $B$ of identical dimensions are at temperature $30\,^{\circ}C$. If $A$ is heated up to $180\,^{\circ}C$ and $B$ up to $T\,^{\circ}C$,then the new lengths are the same. If the ratio of the coefficients of linear expansion of $A$ and $B$ is $4:3$,then the value of $T$ is........$^{\circ}C$.

The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $153 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and in a steel vessel is $144 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$, then the coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ for glass is:

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.
