$A$ steel tape gives correct measurement at $20^{\circ} C$. $A$ piece of wood is being measured with the steel tape at $0^{\circ} C$. The reading is $25 \ cm$ on the tape. The real length of the given piece of wood must be:

$A$ clock pendulum made of invar has a period of $0.5 \, s$ at $20^{\circ} C$. If the clock is used in a climate where the temperature averages to $30^{\circ} C$, how much time does the clock lose in each oscillation? (For invar, $\alpha = 9 \times 10^{-7} /{ }^{\circ} C$, $g = \text{constant}$)

$A$ 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.

$A$ metal rod of length $20 \, cm$ expands by $0.075 \, cm$ when its temperature is raised from $0 \, ^\circ C$ to $100 \, ^\circ C$. Another rod $B$ of a different metal of the same length expands by $0.045 \, cm$ for the same rise in temperature. $A$ third rod of the same length is composed of two metals $A$ and $B$ joined together. This composite rod expands by $0.060 \, cm$ for the same temperature difference. The length of the portion of metal $A$ is ..... $cm$.

At a certain temperature,rod $A$ and rod $B$ of different materials have lengths $L_A$ and $L_B$ respectively. Their coefficients of linear expansion are $\alpha_A$ and $\alpha_B$ respectively. It is observed that the difference between their lengths remains constant at all temperatures. The ratio $L_A / L_B$ is given by
