1. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 12th May Evening Shift )

The volume of a metal block increases by 0.225 % when its temperature is increased by 30 C . Hence coefficient of linear expansion of the material of metal block is

A. 7.5 × 10 5 / C .

B. 6.75 × 10 5 / C .

C. 2.5 × 10 5 / C .

D. 1.5 × 10 5 / C .

Correct Option is (C)

The increase in volume is Δ V V × 100 = 0.225

Change in temperature is Δ T = 30 C

We know, γ = 3 α

The change in volume is Δ V = V γ Δ T

Δ V V × 100 = 3 α Δ T × 100 0.225 = 3 α × 30 × 100 α = 0.225 3 × 30 × 100 α = 2.5 × 10 5 / C

2. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 11th May Evening Shift )

The difference in length between two rods A and B is 60   cm at all temperatures. If α A = 18 × 10 6 / C and β B = 27 × 10 6 / C , the lengths of the two rods are

A. l A = 200   cm , l B = 140   cm

B. l A = 180   cm , l B = 120   cm

C. l A = 160   cm , l B = 100   cm

D. l A = 120   cm , l B = 60   cm

Correct Option is (B)

Given: Δ l = 60   cm , α A = 18 × 10 6 / C ,

α B = 27 × 10 6 / C

Δ l is constant at all temperatures.

We know Δ l = l α Δ t

Let the length of the rods at a temperature 0 C be l A and l B

At temperature t C

l A α A t A = l B α B t B l A ( 18 ) × 10 6 = l B ( 27 ) × 10 6 .... (i) Δ l = l A l B Δ l = 3 2 l B l B .... from (i) Δ l = 1 2 l B l B = 2 Δ l l B = 2 × 60 = 120   cm l A = 3 2 × 120 = 180   cm

3. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 10th May Evening Shift )

A metal rod 2   m long increases in length by 1.6   mm , when heated from 0 C to 60 C . The coefficient of linear expansion of metal rod is

A. 1.33 × 10 5 / C

B. 1.66 × 10 5 / C

C. 1.33 × 10 3 / C

D. 1.66 × 10 3 / C

Correct Option is (A)

We know,

Coefficient of Linear expansion α = L 2 L 1   L 1 Δ T ...... (i)

Given: Δ T = 60 0 = 60 C

L 1 = 2   m and L 2 = 2.0016

Substituting the given values into (i),

α = .0016 120 = 1.33 × 10 5 / C

4. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 9th May Morning Shift )

Two uniform brass rods A and B of length and ' 2 l ' and their radii ' 2 r ' and ' r ' respectively are heated to same temperature. The ratio of the increase in the volume of rod A to that of rod B is

A. 1 : 1

B. 1 : 2

C. 2 : 1

D. 1 : 4

Correct Option is (C)

Let the original temperature be 0 C

Volume of A = V 1 = l × π ( 2 r ) 2

After heating, volume of A will become

V 1 = V 1 ( 1 + γ Δ T ) ( V 1 V 1 ) V 1 = γ Δ T V 1 V 1 V 1

Similarly for rod B ,

( V 2 V 2 ) V 2 = γ Δ T V 2 V 2 V 2 Δ V 1 Δ V 2 = ( 2 r ) 2 2 / r 2 = 2 1
