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 T = 2π (l/g) Log T = Log (2π) + Log(l) - Log (g) Take both side Differentiation (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 , Ho...
