Brass and lead rods of length $80 \ cm$ are connected in parallel at $0^{\circ}C$. If they are heated to $100^{\circ}C$,what will be the difference in length between their ends in $mm$? (Given: $\alpha_{brass} = 18 \times 10^{-6} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ and $\alpha_{lead} = 28 \times 10^{-6} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$)

Two rods $A$ and $B$ of identical dimensions are at temperature $30\,^{\circ}C$. If $A$ is heated up to $180\,^{\circ}C$ and $B$ up to $T\,^{\circ}C$,then the new lengths are the same. If the ratio of the coefficients of linear expansion of $A$ and $B$ is $4:3$,then the value of $T$ is........$^{\circ}C$.

The difference in length between two rods $A$ and $B$ is $60 \ cm$ at all temperatures. If $\alpha_A = 18 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$ and $\alpha_B = 27 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$,then the lengths of rod $A$ and rod $B$ at $0^{\circ}C$ are respectively:

$A$ cylindrical metal rod of length $L_0$ is shaped into a ring with a small gap as shown. On heating the system,
