5 questions. Try each one first, then open its answer.

  1. Question 1

    Thermal Properties of Matter. Asked once: 4 Apr 2026 S2

    9
    The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion α\alpha is increased from T1T_{1} to T2T_{2} resulting in increase of its length by ΔL1\Delta L_{1}. The temperature is further increased from T2T_{2} to T3T_{3} such that the increase in its length is ΔL2\Delta L_{2}. Given T3+T1=2 T2T_{3}+T_{1}= 2{\text{ }T}_{2} and T2−T1=ΔTT_{2}-T_{1}= \Delta T, the value of ΔL2\Delta L_{2} is ____\_\_\_\_ .

    A certain gas is isothermally compressed to (13)rd \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^{\text{rd~}} of its initial volume ( V0=3V_{0} = 3 litre) by applying required pressure. If the bulk modulus of the gas is 3×105 N/m23 \times 10^{5}\text{ }N/m^{2}, the magnitude of work done on the gas is ____\_\_\_\_ J.

    Two strings (A, B) having linear densities μA=2×10−4 kg/m\mu_{A}= 2 \times10^{- 4}\text{ }kg/m and μB=4×10−4 kg/m\mu_{B}= 4 \times10^{- 4}\text{ }kg/m and lengths LA=2.5 mL_{A}= 2.5\text{ }m and LB=1.5 mL_{B}= 1.5\text{ }m respectively are joined. Free ends of A and B are tied to two rigid supports C and D, respectively creating a tension of 500 N in the wire. Two identical pulses, sent from C and D ends, take time t1t_{1} and t2t_{2}, respectively, to reach the joint. The ratio t1/t2t_{1}/t_{2} is :
