Two rods,one of aluminium and the other of steel,having initial lengths $L_1$ and $L_2$ are connected together to form a single rod of length $(L_1+L_2)$. The coefficients of linear expansion of aluminium and steel are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ respectively. If the length of each rod increases by the same amount,when their temperatures are raised by $t^{\circ}C$,then the ratio $\frac{L_1}{L_1+L_2}$ will be

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

$A$ uniform rod of length $L$ pivoted at one end $P$ is freely rotated in a horizontal plane with an angular velocity $\omega$ about a vertical axis passing through $P$. If the temperature of the system is increased by $\Delta T$, the angular velocity becomes $\frac{\omega}{2}$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the rod is $\alpha$ (where $\alpha \ll 1$), then $\Delta T$ will be:

The coefficient of superficial expansion of a solid is $2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ °C}^{-1}$. Its coefficient of linear expansion is:

An iron rod of length $10 \ m$ is heated from $0 \ ^{\circ}C$ to $100 \ ^{\circ}C$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of iron is $10 \times 10^{-6} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$,then the increase in the length of the rod is ..... $cm$.
