$A$ 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:

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

If a cylinder of diameter $1.0 \, cm$ at $30^{\circ}C$ is to be slid into a hole of diameter $0.9997 \, cm$ in a steel plate at the same temperature,then the minimum required rise in the temperature of the plate is ........ $^{\circ}C$ (Coefficient of linear expansion of steel $\alpha = 12 \times 10^{-6} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$).

Write the relation between the coefficient of linear expansion and the coefficient of volume expansion.

$A$ 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.

$A$ cylindrical metal rod of length $L_0$ is shaped into a ring with a small gap $x$ as shown. On heating the system:
