The difference in length between an iron rod and a copper rod is $10 \ cm$ at all temperatures. If ${\alpha _{Fe}} = 11 \times {10^{ - 6}} \, ^\circ C^{ - 1}$ and ${\alpha _{Cu}} = 17 \times {10^{ - 6}} \, ^\circ C^{ - 1}$,what are their lengths respectively?

$A$ blacksmith fixes a circular iron frame on the wooden wheel of a bullock cart. The diameters of the wooden wheel and the circular iron frame are $5.012 \ m$ and $5 \ m$ respectively at $27^{\circ} C$. The temperature (in $^{\circ} C$) to which the iron ring must be heated so as to fit the wooden wheel is (Coefficient of linear expansion of iron $= 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \ ^{\circ} C^{-1}$).

$A$ solid rectangular sheet has two different coefficients of linear expansion $\alpha_{1}$ and $\alpha_{2}$ along its length and breadth respectively. The coefficient of surface expansion is (for $\alpha_{1} \Delta t \ll 1, \alpha_{2} \Delta t \ll 1$):

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: When a rod lying freely is heated,no thermal stress is developed in it.
Reason $R$: On heating,the length of the rod increases.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ simple pendulum made of a bob of mass $m$ and a metallic wire of negligible mass has a time period $2 \ s$ at $T = 0 \ ^oC$. If the temperature of the wire is increased and the corresponding change in its time period is plotted against its temperature,the resulting graph is a line of slope $S$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$,then the value of $S$ is:
