When a copper ball is heated,the largest percentage increase will occur in its

$A$ steel scale measures the length of a copper wire as $80.0\,cm$ when both are at $20^\circ C$ (the calibration temperature for the scale). What would be the scale reading for the length of the wire when both are at $40^\circ C$ (in $,cm$)?

The coefficient of linear expansion of a crystal in one direction is ${\alpha _1}$ and that in every direction perpendicular to it is ${\alpha _2}$. The coefficient of cubical expansion is

$A$ 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?

$A$ circular metallic disc of radius $R$ has a small circular cavity of radius $r$ as shown in the figure. On heating the system:

As shown in the figure,an equilateral triangle $ABC$ is formed by joining three rods of equal lengths $l$. $D$ is the midpoint of $AB$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the material of rod $AB$ is $\alpha_1$ and that of rods $AC$ and $BC$ is $\alpha_2$. If the length $DC$ remains constant for small changes in temperature,then:
