$A$ pendulum clock shows the correct time at $20\,^oC$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the pendulum material is $12 \times 10^{-6}\,^oC^{-1}$. How much time in $sec/day$ will it lose at $40\,^oC$?

$A$ meter scale made of steel reads accurately at $25^{\circ} C$. Suppose in an experiment an accuracy of $0.06 \,mm$ in $1 \,m$ is required, the range of temperature in which the experiment can be performed with this meter scale is (Coefficient of linear expansion of steel is $11 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$)

What is areal expansion? Give the definition and unit of the coefficient of areal expansion.

$A$ clock pendulum made of invar has a period of $0.5 \, s$ at $20^{\circ} C$. If the clock is used in a climate where the temperature averages to $30^{\circ} C$, how much time does the clock lose in each oscillation? (For invar, $\alpha = 9 \times 10^{-7} /{ }^{\circ} C$, $g = \text{constant}$)

An aluminium sphere of $20 \; cm$ diameter is heated from $0^{\circ} C$ to $100^{\circ} C$. Its volume changes by (given that coefficient of linear expansion for aluminium $\alpha_{Al} = 23 \times 10^{-6} \; /^{\circ} C$): (in $; cm^3$)
