$A$ steel tape of $300 \,cm$ length is graduated at $27^{\circ} C$. The length of a steel rod measured using the tape is found to be $110 \,cm$ at $50^{\circ} C$. The actual length of the steel rod at $50^{\circ} C$ is $(\alpha_{\text{steel}} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \,K^{-1})$. (in $\,cm$)

At some temperature $T$,a bronze pin is slightly too large to fit into a hole drilled in a steel block. The change in temperature required for an exact fit is minimum when:

$A$ metal rod of length $20 \, cm$ expands by $0.075 \, cm$ when its temperature is raised from $0 \, ^\circ C$ to $100 \, ^\circ C$. Another rod $B$ of a different metal of the same length expands by $0.045 \, cm$ for the same rise in temperature. $A$ third rod of the same length is composed of two metals $A$ and $B$ joined together. This composite rod expands by $0.060 \, cm$ for the same temperature difference. The length of the portion of metal $A$ is ..... $cm$.

The ratio of linear expansivity to the coefficient of superficial expansion of a rectangular sheet of a solid is

$A$ unit scale is to be prepared whose length does not change with temperature and remains $20\,cm$,using a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length. The length of both components would change in such a way that the difference between their lengths remains constant. If the length of brass is $40\,cm$,what is the length of iron in $cm$?
($\alpha_{\text{iron}} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} K^{-1}$ and $\alpha_{\text{brass}} = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} K^{-1}$)

$A$ steel scale measures the length of a copper wire as $80.0\,cm$ when both are at $20^\circ C$ (the calibration temperature for the scale). What would be the scale reading for the length of the wire when both are at $40^\circ C$ (in $,cm$)?
