Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: When a rod lying freely is heated,no thermal stress is developed in it.
Reason $R$: On heating,the length of the rod increases.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • D
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.

We would like to make a vessel whose volume does not change with temperature. We can use brass and iron $\left( {{\gamma _{{\text{brass}}}} = 6 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}/K} \right.$ and $\left. {{\gamma _{{\text{iron}}}} = 3.55 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}/K} \right)$ to create a volume of $100 \, cc$. How can you achieve this?

An equilateral triangle $ABC$ is formed by two copper rods $AB$ and $BC$ and one aluminium rod $AC$. The system is heated such that the temperature of each rod increases by $\Delta T$. Find the change in the angle $\angle ABC$. (Coefficient of linear expansion for copper is $\alpha_1$ and for aluminium is $\alpha_2$).

When the temperature of a metal wire is increased from $0^{\circ} \,C$ to $10^{\circ} \,C$,its length increases by $0.02 \%$. The percentage change in its mass density will be closest to: (in $\%$)

The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is increased from $T_1$ to $T_2$ resulting in an increase of its length by $\Delta L_1$. The temperature is further increased from $T_2$ to $T_3$ such that the increase in its length is $\Delta L_2$. Given $T_3 + T_1 = 2T_2$ and $T_2 - T_1 = \Delta T$, the value of $\Delta L_2$ is . . . . . . .
