$A$ clock which keeps correct time at $20^{\circ} C$, is subjected to $40^{\circ} C$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the pendulum is $12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$, how much time will it gain or lose per day?

  • A
    $10.3 ~s/\text{day}$
  • B
    $20.6 ~s/\text{day}$
  • C
    $5 ~s/\text{day}$
  • D
    $20 ~min/\text{day}$

$A$ bimetallic strip is formed out of two identical strips,one of copper and the other of brass. The coefficients of linear expansion of the two metals are $\alpha_C$ and $\alpha_B$. On heating,the temperature of the strip increases by $\Delta T$ and the strip bends to form an arc of radius of curvature $R$. Then $R$ is:

The rods of length $L_1$ and $L_2$ are made of materials whose coefficients of linear expansion are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ respectively. If the difference between the two lengths is independent of temperature,then:

$A$ metal tape is calibrated at $25^{\circ} C$. On a cold day when the temperature is $-15^{\circ} C$,the percentage error in the measurement of length is (Coefficient of linear expansion of metal $= 1 \times 10^{-5} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$) (in $\%$)

The coefficients of linear expansion of brass and steel are ${\alpha _1}$ and ${\alpha _2}$ respectively. If we take a brass rod of length ${l_1}$ and a steel rod of length ${l_2}$ at $0^{\circ}C$,their difference in length $({l_2} - {l_1})$ will remain the same at any temperature if:
