$A$ uniform metal bar of length $10 \ m$ with a crack at its midpoint is clamped between two rigid supports. The bar buckles upward due to a temperature rise of $40^{\circ} C$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$,the maximum displacement of the midpoint of the bar is: (in $cm$)

The volume of a metal sphere increases by $0.33 \%$ when its temperature is raised by $50^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is

Two rods,one of copper $(Cu)$ and the other of iron $(Fe)$,having initial lengths $L_1$ and $L_2$ respectively,are connected together to form a single rod of length $L_1+L_2$. The coefficients of linear expansion of $Cu$ and $Fe$ are $\alpha_c$ and $\alpha_i$ respectively. If the length of each rod increases by the same amount when their temperatures are raised by $t^{\circ}C$,then the ratio $\frac{L_1-L_2}{L_1+L_2}$ will be:

Brass and lead rods of length $80 \ cm$ are connected in parallel at $0^{\circ}C$. If they are heated to $100^{\circ}C$,what will be the difference in length between their ends in $mm$?
