When a block of iron floats in mercury at 0°C, a fraction k1 of its volume is submerged, while at the temperature 60°C, a fraction k2 is seen to be submerged. If the coefficient of volume expansion of iron is γFe and that of mercury is fig, then the ratio k1k2 can be expressed as

The densities of a liquid at 0°C and 100°C are respectively 1.0127 and 1. A specific gravity bottle is filled with 300 g of the liquid at 0°C upto the brim and it is heated to 100°C. Then the mass of the liquid expelled in grams is (coefficient of linear expansion of glass=9×106C1)

A metal rod is fixed rigidly at two ends so as to prevent its thermal expansion. If L, α and Y respectively denote the length of the rod, coefficient of linear thermal expansion and Young’s modulus of its material, then for an increase in temperature of the rod by T, the longitudinal stress developed in the rod is
