  • A
    $11 \times 10^{-6} \ cm$ increase.
  • B
    $11 \times 10^{-6} \ cm$ decrease.
  • C
    $11 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$ decrease.
  • D
    $11 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$ increase.

$A$ pendulum clock loses $12\;s$ a day if the temperature is $40^{\circ}C$ and gains $4\;s$ a day if the temperature is $20^{\circ}C$. The temperature at which the clock will show correct time,and the coefficient of linear expansion $(\alpha)$ of the metal of the pendulum shaft are respectively:

Two rods are joined between fixed supports as shown in the figure. The condition for no change in the total length of the system with an increase in temperature is given by:
($\alpha_1, \alpha_2$ = linear expansion coefficients,$A_1, A_2$ = cross-sectional areas of rods,$Y_1, Y_2$ = Young's moduli)

Obtain the relation between the coefficient of volume expansion $(\alpha_V)$ and the coefficient of linear expansion $(\alpha_l)$.

At what temperature (in $ ^{\circ} C$) should a gold ring of diameter $6.230 \,cm$ be heated so that it can be fitted on a wooden bangle of diameter $6.241 \,cm$ (in $.7$)? Both diameters were measured at room temperature $(27^{\circ} C)$. (Given: coefficient of linear thermal expansion of gold $\alpha_{L}=1.4 \times 10^{-5} \,K ^{-1}$)
