What happens during the thermal expansion of a material when it is heated?

$A$ rod of length $20 \, cm$ is made of metal $A$. It expands by $0.075 \, cm$ when its temperature is raised from $0^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$. Another rod of a different metal $B$ having the same length expands by $0.045 \, cm$ for the same change in temperature. $A$ third rod of the same length is composed of two parts,one of metal $A$ and the other of metal $B$. This rod expands by $0.06 \, cm$ for the same change in temperature. The portion made of metal $A$ has the length ............. $cm$.

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:

$A$ 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 the correct time is: (in $^{\circ} C$)

$A$ 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?
