The focal length of a spherical mirror made of steel is $150 \,cm$. If the temperature of the mirror increases by $200 \,K$, its focal length becomes (coefficient of linear expansion of steel $\alpha = 12 \times 10^{-6} \,^{\circ}C^{-1}$). (in $\,cm$)

Railway tracks are made of steel segments separated by small gaps to allow for linear expansion. $A$ segment of the track is $10 \ m$ long when laid at a temperature of $17^{\circ} C$. The maximum temperature that can be reached is $45^{\circ} C$. The increase in the length of the segment of the railway track is $x \times 10^{-5} \ m$. The value of $x$ is (given $\alpha_{\text{steel}} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$).

When a copper ball is heated,which of the following will show the maximum percentage increase?
