On a fairly cool rainy day when the temperature is 20°C; the length of a steel railroad track is 20m. What will be its length on a hot a dry day when the temperature is 40°C? [coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 11 x 10^-6K‾¹]

On a fairly cool rainy day when the temperature is 20°C; the length of a steel railroad track is 20m. What will be its length on a hot a dry day when the temperature is 40°C? [coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 11 x 10^-6K‾¹]

A. 20.013m B. 20.009m C. 20.004m D. 20.002m Correct Answer: Option C – 20.004m Explanation The increase in length of the steel rail is given by = α 10 = 11 x 10-6 x 20 x (40 -20) = 11 x 10-6 x 20 x 20 = 4.4 x 10-3 ∴ Final length will be original length plus...

Thermal equilibrium between two object exist when?

A. the temperature of both objects are equal B. the quantity of heat of both objects is the same C. the heat capacities of both objects are the same D. one object losses heat continuously to the other Correct Answer: Option A – the temperature of both objects...

A tuning fork of frequency 340Hz is vibrated just above a cylindrical tube of height 1.2m. If water is slowly poured into the tube; at what maximum height will resonance occur. [speed of sound in air = 340ms−¹]

A. 0.95m B. 0.60m C. 0.50m D. 0.45m Correct Answer: Option D – 0.45m Explanation In vibration in a closed pipe/tube, the first resonance occurs at a position L = V/4f, when reading from the top of the tube, L1 = _340 4 x 340 = 0.25m L2 = 3V/4f L2 = 3 x 340 4 x...
