A glass vessel of volume \(V_0\) contains a liquid which fills \(20\%\) of its volume. When the temperature of the system is raised by \(10^\circ\text C,\) the volume of the unfilled portion is found to remain constant. If the coefficient of linear expansion of glass is \(\alpha,\) the coefficient of expansion of the liquid is:
1. \(5 \alpha \) 2. \(\dfrac{3 \alpha}{5} \)
3. \(\dfrac{5 \alpha}{3} \) 4. \(15 \alpha\)

A hot body \((A)\) at a temperature of \(2000~ \text K\) radiates like a blackbody, at a rate of \(160 ~\text W.\) It is placed in a furnace which is heated to a temperature of \(1000~ \text K,\) the interior of the furnace behaving like a blackbody. At the initial instant, when the hot body \(A\) is at \(2000~ \text K,\) the net rate of loss of heat from \(A\) due to radiation is:
1. \(160 ~\text W\)
2. \(150 ~\text W\)
3. \(60 ~\text W\)
4. \(10 ~\text W\)

Two bodies \(A,B\) are maintained at temperatures \(\theta_A=100^\circ\text C\) and \(\theta_B=0^\circ\text C.\) Two thermally conducting rods \((P,~Q)\) of different conductivities and of different dimensions are connected between \(A\) and \(B.\) The conductivity of \(P\) is twice that of \(Q.\) The sides of the rods are insulated. If the mid-points of the two rods are connected to each other by a thin conducting wire (after equilibrium is reached),
1. heat would flow from \(P\) to \(Q\).
2. heat would flow from \(Q\) to \(P\).
3. no flow of heat occurs between \(P\) & \(Q\).
4. flow of heat may occur back and forth between \(P\) & \(Q,\) varying with time.

A solid non-expanding tank contains air (at atm pressure \({\large p}_0~\&~0^{\circ}\text{C}\)) and mercury, the mercury filling half the tank. Let coefficient of expansion of mercury be \({\Large\gamma}_L.\) If the temperature is raised by \(\theta\) (a few degree Celsius) the pressure of air increases by (nearly)
1. \({\Large\gamma}_L\theta\times{\large p}_0 ~\)
2. \({\Large\frac{\theta}{273}}{\large p}_0\)

A calorimeter contains \(270\) g of ice at \(0^\circ\)C (specific latent heat \(80\) cal/g). Steam (specific latent heat \(540\) cal/g) at \(100^\circ\)C is continuously passed through it, and the excess steam is allowed to escape. Assume negligible loss of heat to the surroundings, except due to excess steam being allowed to escape. Also, ignore the heat capacity of the calorimeter. The final mass of water in the calorimeter is:
1. \(40\) g
2. \(90\) g
3. \(310\) g
4. \(360\) g

A metallic rod of length \(l\) (at \(0^\circ\text C\)) expands by \(\Delta l\) when its temperature is increased by \(100^\circ\text C.\) This rod is kept on a surface with its left end maintained at \(0^\circ\text C,\) and its right end at \(100^\circ\text C.\) The rod is insulated along its length, so heat can only be exchanged at the ends. The length of the rod is:
               
1. \(l+\Delta l\) 2. \(l+\dfrac{\Delta l}{2}\)
3. \(l+\dfrac{\Delta l}{4}\) 4. \(l+\dfrac{3\Delta l}{4}\)

A heater supplying constant power \(P\) watts is switched on at time \(t=0\) minutes to raise the temperature of a liquid kept in a calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. A student records the temperature of the liquid \(T(t)\) at equal time intervals. A graph is plotted with \(T(t)\) on the \(y\)-axis versus \(t\) on the \(x\)-axis. Assume that there is no heat loss to the surroundings during heating. Then:
1. The graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis.
2. The heat capacity of the liquid is inversely proportional to the slope of the graph.
3. If some heat were lost at a constant rate to the surroundings during heating, the graph would be a straight line but with a larger slope.
4. The internal energy of the liquid increases quadratically with time.
