Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same length,same area of cross-section,and having the same Young's modulus are heated to the same temperature range. If the coefficient of linear expansion of wire $A$ is $3/2$ times that of wire $B$,what is the ratio of the thermal forces produced in the two wires?

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

$A$ hole of diameter $5 \ cm$ is drilled in a metal sheet at $30^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $2 \times 10^{-5} K^{-1}$. The diameter of the hole when the temperature is raised to $230^{\circ} C$ is equal to: (in $cm$)

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: When a rod lying freely is heated,no thermal stress is developed in it.
Reason $R$: On heating,the length of the rod increases.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

When the temperature of a body increases from $T$ to $T+\Delta T$, its moment of inertia increases from $I$ to $I+\Delta I$. If $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the body, then $\frac{\Delta I}{I}$ is (neglect higher orders of $\alpha$ ).

$A$ rail track made of steel having length $10\,m$ is clamped on a railway line at its two ends as shown in the figure. On a summer day,due to a rise in temperature by $20\,^oC$,it is deformed as shown in the figure. Find $x$ (displacement of the centre) if $\alpha_{steel} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \,^oC^{-1}$.
