The density of a substance at $0 \, ^\circ C$ is $10 \, g/cm^3$ and at $100 \, ^\circ C$ is $9.7 \, g/cm^3$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the substance is ..... $^\circ C^{-1}$.

$A$ thin copper wire of length $L$ increases in length by $1\%$ when heated from temperature $T_1$ to $T_2$. What is the percentage change in area when a thin copper plate having dimensions $2L \times L$ is heated from $T_1$ to $T_2$?

The temperature of a metal coin is increased by $100^{\circ} C$ and its diameter increases by $0.15 \%$. Its area increases by nearly (in $\%$)

$A$ simple pendulum made of a bob of mass $m$ and a metallic wire of negligible mass has a time period $2 \ s$ at $T = 0 \ ^oC$. If the temperature of the wire is increased and the corresponding change in its time period is plotted against its temperature,the resulting graph is a line of slope $S$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$,then the value of $S$ is:

$A$ $1$ litre glass flask contains some mercury. It is found that at different temperatures,the volume of air inside the flask remains the same. What is the volume of mercury in this flask in $cc$ if the coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $9 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$ and the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is $1.8 \times 10^{-4} /^{\circ}C$?

$A$ brass rod of length $50\; cm$ and diameter $3.0\; mm$ is joined to a steel rod of the same length and diameter. What is the change in length of the combined rod at $250\; ^{\circ}C$,if the original lengths are at $40.0\; ^{\circ}C$? Is there a 'thermal stress' developed at the junction? The ends of the rod are free to expand. (Coefficient of linear expansion of brass $= 2.0 \times 10^{-5}\; K^{-1}$,steel $= 1.2 \times 10^{-5}\; K^{-1}$)
