We would like to prepare a scale whose length does not change with temperature. It is proposed to prepare a unit scale of this type whose length remains, say 10 cm. We can use a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length whose length (both components) would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remains constant. If alpa_(iron = 1.2 xx 10^-5 //K and alpha_(brass = 1.8 xx 10^-5//K , what should we take as length of each strip?

Aluminium, iron and steel are ________ conductors of heat.

Why springs are made of steel and not of copper?

A cylinder of diameter exactly 1 cm at 30^@C is to be slided into a hole in a steel plate. The hole has a diameter of 0.99970 cm at 30^@C . To what temperature must the plate be heated? For steel alpha = 1.1 xx 10^-5 ^@C^-1

The radius of a metal sphere at room temperature T is R, and the coefficient of linear expansion of the meta is alpha . The sphere is heated a little by a temperature DeltaT so that its new temperature is T + DeltaT . The icnrease in the volume of the sphere is approximately

A hemispherical bowl is made of steel 0.25 cm thick. The inner radius of the bowl is 5 cm. Find the volume of steel used in making the bowl. [ Take pi = 3.14]

A rod of length l and negligible mass is suspended at its two ends by two wires of steel (wire A ) and aluminium (wire B) of equal length (shown in the figure) The cross-sectional areas of wires A and B are 1.0 mm^2 and 2.0 mm^2 , respectively. (Y_(AL) = 70 xx 10^9 N m^-2 and y _(steel) = 200 xx 10^9 N m^-2)

Two wires of diameter 0.25 cm, one made of steel and the other made of brass are loaded as shown in Fig. 9.13. The unloaded length of steel wire is 1.5 m and that of brass wire is 1.0 m. Compute the elongations of the steel and the brass wires:
