$A$ metal sphere immersed in water weighs $w_1$ at $0^{\circ} C$ and $w_2$ at $50^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of the metal is less than that of water. Then

$A$ given mass $m$ of a hypothetical solid is supplied with heat continuously at a constant rate and the graph shown in the figure is plotted. If $L_f$ and $L_v$ are latent heats of fusion and vaporization,and $S_l$ and $S_s$ are specific heats of liquid and solid respectively,it can be concluded that:

Consider two thermometers $T_1$ and $T_2$ of equal length,which can be used to measure temperature over the range $\theta_1$ to $\theta_2$. $T_1$ contains mercury as the thermometric liquid,while $T_2$ contains bromine. The volumes of the two liquids are the same at the temperature $\theta_1$. The volumetric coefficients of expansion of mercury and bromine are $18 \times 10^{-5} \, K^{-1}$ and $108 \times 10^{-5} \, K^{-1}$,respectively. The increase in length of each liquid is the same for the same increase in temperature. If the diameters of the capillary tubes of the two thermometers are $d_1$ and $d_2$,respectively,then the ratio $d_1: d_2$ is closest to:

It is known that wax contracts on solidification. If molten wax is taken in a large vessel and it is allowed to cool slowly,then

If $1\; g$ of steam at $100^{\circ}C$ is mixed with $1\; g$ of ice at $0^{\circ}C$,then the resultant temperature of the mixture is ........ $^{\circ}C$.

If in the winter season the surface temperature of a lake is $1^{\circ} C$,the temperature at the bottom of the lake will be ............
