The volume of a metal sphere increases by $0.30 \%$,when its temperature is raised by $50^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is

An iron sphere having diameter $D$ and mass $M$ is immersed in hot water so that the temperature of the sphere increases by $\delta T$. If $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion of the iron,then the change in the surface area of the sphere is:

Three rods of equal lengths are joined to form an equilateral triangle $ABC$. $D$ is the mid-point of $AB$. The coefficient of linear expansion is $\alpha_1$ for the material of rod $AB$ and $\alpha_2$ for the material of rods $AC$ and $BC$. If the distance $DC$ remains constant for small changes in temperature,then:

$A$ clock which keeps correct time at $20^\circ C$ is subjected to $40^\circ C$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the pendulum is $12 \times 10^{-6} /^\circ C$,how much time will it gain or lose per day?

The area of cross-section of a railway track is $0.01\, m^2$. The temperature variation is $10^{\circ}C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the track is $10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$. The energy stored per meter in the track is ...... $J/m$. (Young's modulus of the material of the track is $10^{11}\, Nm^{-2}$)

The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is increased from $T_1$ to $T_2$ resulting in an increase of its length by $\Delta L_1$. The temperature is further increased from $T_2$ to $T_3$ such that the increase in its length is $\Delta L_2$. Given $T_3 + T_1 = 2T_2$ and $T_2 - T_1 = \Delta T$,the value of $\Delta L_2$ is . . . . . . .
