A solid cube is first floating in a liquid. The coefficient of linear expansion of cube is $\mathrm{\alpha }$ and the coefficient of volume expansion of liquid is $\mathrm{\gamma }$. On increasing the temperature of (liquid + cube) system, the cube will sink if:

1. $\mathrm{\gamma }=3\mathrm{\alpha }$

2. $\mathrm{\gamma }>3\mathrm{\alpha }$

3. $\mathrm{\gamma }<3\mathrm{\alpha }$

4. $\mathrm{\gamma }=2\mathrm{\alpha }$

A steel tape is calibrated at 20°C. On a cold day when the temperature is -15°C, the percentage error in the tape will be: $\left[{\mathrm{\alpha }}_{\mathrm{steel}}=1.2\times {10}^{-5}°{\mathrm{C}}^{-1}\right]$
