When the temperature of a body increases from $T$ to $T+\Delta T$, its moment of inertia increases from $I$ to $I+\Delta I$. If $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the body, then $\frac{\Delta I}{I}$ is (neglect higher orders of $\alpha$ ).

  • A
    $\alpha \Delta T$
  • B
    $2 \alpha \Delta T$
  • C
    $\frac{\Delta T}{\alpha}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 \alpha}{\Delta T}$

When the temperature of a metal sphere is increased by $40^{\circ}C$,its volume increases by $0.24\%$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is ....... $^{\circ}C^{-1}$.

We would like to prepare a scale whose length does not change with temperature. It is proposed to prepare a unit scale of this type whose length remains,say $10 \ cm$. We can use a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length whose length (both components) would change in such a way that the difference between their lengths remains constant. If $\alpha_{\text{iron}} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$ and $\alpha_{\text{brass}} = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$,what should be the length of each strip?
