$A$ hole is drilled in a copper sheet. The diameter of the hole is $4.24 \,cm$ at $27.0^{\circ} C$. What is the diameter of the hole when it is heated to $35^{\circ} C$?

Two rods of same area of cross-section have lengths $L$ and $2 \,L$ and coefficients of linear expansion $2 \alpha$ and $\alpha$ respectively. If they are welded to form a composite rod of length $3 \,L$, then the coefficient of linear expansion of the composite rod is

$A$ pendulum clock shows the correct time at $20\,^oC$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the pendulum material is $12 \times 10^{-6}\,^oC^{-1}$. How much time in $sec/day$ will it lose at $40\,^oC$?

What will happen if a rod is tied with fixed supports rigidly at both ends and its temperature is increased?

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 $\alpha = 12 \times 10^{-6} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$).

$A$ metal rod having a coefficient of linear expansion $2 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$ is $0.75 \ m$ long at $45^{\circ} C$. When the temperature rises to $65^{\circ} C$,the increase in length of the rod will be: (in $mm$)
