The volume of a metal sphere increases by $0.33 \%$ when its temperature is raised by $50^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is

What is the change in volume of an iron sphere of volume $500 \,cm^3$, when it is heated from $0^{\circ} C$ to $100^{\circ} C$ (in $\,cm^3$)? (Given: $\alpha_{\text{Iron}} = 12 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ} C$)

The volume of a metal block increases by $0.225 \%$ when its temperature is increased by $30^{\circ} C$. Hence,the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the metal block is

An aluminium and steel rod having same lengths and cross-sections are joined to make a total length of $120 \ cm$ at $30^{\circ} C$. The coefficients of linear expansion of aluminium and steel are $24 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and $1.2 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$, respectively. The length of this composite rod when its temperature is raised to $100^{\circ} C$, is . . . . . . $cm$. (in $cm$)

Steel rails are laid with gaps to allow for thermal expansion. Each track is $10 \ m$ long,when laid at a temperature of $17^{\circ} C$. The maximum temperature that can be reached is $45^{\circ} C$. The gap to be kept between the two segments of the railway track is $(\alpha_{\text{steel}} = 1.3 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C)$. (in $mm$)
