The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is increased from $T_1$ to $T_2$ resulting in an increase of its length by $\Delta L_1$. The temperature is further increased from $T_2$ to $T_3$ such that the increase in its length is $\Delta L_2$. Given $T_3 + T_1 = 2T_2$ and $T_2 - T_1 = \Delta T$, the value of $\Delta L_2$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ metal rod having a coefficient of linear expansion $2 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$ is $0.75 \ m$ long at $45^{\circ} C$. When the temperature rises to $65^{\circ} C$,the increase in length of the rod will be: (in $mm$)

The volume of a metal block increases by $0.225 \%$ when its temperature is increased by $30^{\circ} C$. Hence,the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the metal block is

$A$ steel tape measures the length of a copper rod as $90 \ cm$ when both are at $10 \ ^oC$. What length (in $cm$) would the tape read for the length of the rod when both are at $30 \ ^oC$? $[\alpha_{st} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} / ^oC$ and $\alpha_{cu} = 1.7 \times 10^{-5} / ^oC]$
