The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is increased from $T_1$ to $T_2$ resulting in an increase of its length by $\Delta L_1$. The temperature is further increased from $T_2$ to $T_3$ such that the increase in its length is $\Delta L_2$. Given $T_3 + T_1 = 2T_2$ and $T_2 - T_1 = \Delta T$, the value of $\Delta L_2$ is . . . . . . .

  • A
    $\Delta L_1[1 + 2\alpha^2(\Delta T)^2]$
  • B
    $\Delta L_1[1 + \alpha^2(\Delta T)^2]$
  • C
    $\Delta L_1[1 + 2\alpha \Delta T]$
  • D
    $\Delta L_1[1 + \alpha \Delta T]$

$A$ composite rod made up of two rods $AB$ and $BC$ are joined at $B$. The rods are of equal length at room temperature and have equal masses. The coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ of $AB$ is more than that of $BC$. The composite rod is suspended horizontally by means of a thread at $B$. When the rod is heated:

The gap between any two rails, each of length $l$ laid on a railway track, is equal to $x$ at $27\,^{\circ}C$. When the temperature rises to $40\,^{\circ}C$, the gap closes up. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the rail is $\alpha$, the length $l$ of a rail at $27\,^{\circ}C$ is:
