The volume of a metal block increases by $0.225 \%$ when its temperature is increased by $30^{\circ} C$. Hence,the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the metal block is

  • A
    $7.5 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$.
  • B
    $6.75 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$.
  • C
    $2.5 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$.
  • D
    $1.5 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$.

$A$ meter scale made of steel reads accurately at $25^{\circ} C$. Suppose in an experiment an accuracy of $0.06 \,mm$ in $1 \,m$ is required, the range of temperature in which the experiment can be performed with this meter scale is (Coefficient of linear expansion of steel is $11 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$)

Steel rails are laid with gaps to allow for thermal expansion. Each track is $10 \ m$ long,when laid at a temperature of $17^{\circ} C$. The maximum temperature that can be reached is $45^{\circ} C$. The gap to be kept between the two segments of the railway track is $(\alpha_{\text{steel}} = 1.3 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C)$. (in $mm$)

Two rods,one of aluminum and another of steel,have initial lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ respectively. They are joined together to form a single rod of length $(l_1 + l_2)$. If the coefficients of linear expansion for aluminum and steel are $\alpha_a$ and $\alpha_s$ respectively,and the increase in length for both rods is the same when the temperature of both is increased by $t \ ^\circ C$,then $\frac{l_1}{l_1 + l_2} = \dots$
