The value of coefficient of volume expansion of glycerin is 5 $$ \times $$ 10^$$-$$4 K^$$-$$1. The fractional change in the density of glycerin for a rise of 40^oC in its temperature, is

The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of same length and of same area of cross section, one of steel and another of brass are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level, then the weights added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of

On observing light from three different starts P, Q and R, it was found that intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of P, the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of R and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of Q. If T_P, T_Q and T_R are the respective absolute temperatures of P, Q and R, then it can be conclued from the above observations that

The two ends of a metal rod are maintained at temperatures 100^oC and 110^oC. The rate of heat flow in the rod is found to be 4.0 J/s. If the ends are maintained at temperatures 200^oC and 210^oC, the rate of heat flow will be
