The area of a circular copper coin increases by $0.4 \%$ when its temperature is raised by $100^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the coin is:

  • A
    $1 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • C
    $3 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • D
    $4 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$

Each side of a cubic metal box is $a$ at room temperature $T$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal sheet is $\alpha$. The metal box is heated uniformly by a small temperature $\Delta T$,so that its new temperature is $T + \Delta T$. Calculate the increase in the volume of the metal box.

$A$ uniform rod of length $L$ pivoted at one end $P$ is freely rotated in a horizontal plane with an angular velocity $\omega$ about a vertical axis passing through $P$. If the temperature of the system is increased by $\Delta T$, the angular velocity becomes $\frac{\omega}{2}$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the rod is $\alpha$ (where $\alpha \ll 1$), then $\Delta T$ will be:
