When a liquid is heated in a copper vessel, its coefficient of apparent expansion is $6 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$. When the same liquid is heated in a steel vessel, its coefficient of apparent expansion is $24 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$. If the coefficient of linear expansion for copper is $18 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$, what is the coefficient of linear expansion for steel?

  • A
    $20 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $24 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • C
    $36 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • D
    $12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$

Two particles of mass $m$ each are tied at the ends of a light string of length $2a$. The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance $a$ from the centre $P$ (as shown in the figure). Now,the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force $F$. As a result,the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration,when the separation between them becomes $2x$,is
