Some effects of thermal expansion in solids
(1) BIMETALLIC STRIP :- If two strips of different materials placed one over another and rigidly joint is called bimetallic strip.
:- If a bimetallic strip is heated then it bends such that the strip of material having high value of coefficient of linear thermal expansion will be on convex side.
α of brass rod > α of steel rod
(2) Time period of pendulum
Thred length of pendulum = l
Acceleration due to gravity = g
(1) A wall clock that gives the correct time at 25°C If that wall clock is kept at 55°C then how much time will it gain or lose in one day ? (coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the pendulum is 1.2 ×10⁻⁵/°C)
(2) A second's pendulum of wall clock has a steel wire . the clock is placed at 20°C , How much time does the clock loss or gain in one month when the temperature is increased to 40°C ? ( α = 1.2 × 10⁻⁵/°C )
