At ordinary temperature: Each molecule of the solid vibrate about it' s equilibrium
position P1 between A and B (r0 is the equilibrium distance of it from some other
molecule)
At high temperature: Amplitude of vibration increase (C D and E F). Due to
asymmetry of the curve, the equilibrium positions (P2 and P3) of molecule
displaced. Hence it's distance from other molecule increases (r 2 > r1 > r0).
Thus, on raising the temperature, the average equilibrium distance between the
molecules increases and the solid as a whole expands

W1 = W0 V0g ; where W0 = weight of ball in air
Similarly, W2 = W0 V50g; where 0 = density of alcohol at 0C

When length of the liquid column remains constant, then the level of liquid moves
down with respect to the container, thus must be less than 3.
Now we can write V = V0(1 + T)
Since V = Al0 = [A0 (1 + 2T)]l0 = V0 (1 + 2T)
Hence V0(1 + T) = V0(1 + 2T) = 2

138) (a)
The rate of heat loss is proportional to the difference in temperature. The
difference of temperature between the tea in cup A and the surrounding is reduced,
so it loses less heat. the tea in cup B loses more heat because of large temperature
difference. Hence the tea in cup A will be hotter

Since diameter of A is half that of B so it's rate of cooling will be doubled that of B

No, In convection the hot liquid at the bottom becomes lighter and hence it rises
up. In this way the base of the convection is the difference in weight and upthrust.
In the state of weightlessness this difference does not occur, so convection is not
possible

It is clear that, at a particular time after start cooling, temperature of oil will be less
than that of water.
So graph B represents the cooling curve of oil and A represents the cooling curve
of water

Radius of a conductor increases uniformly from left end to right end as shown in
fig.
154) (b)
Since the curved surface of the conductor is thermally insulated, therefore, in
steady state, the rate of flow of heat at every section will be the same. Hence the
curve between H and x will be straight line parallel to x-axis
155) (d)
According to Stefan's law E T 4
log E log 4 log T log E 4 log T log

on comparing this equations with y mx C

we find that graph between log E and log T will be a straight line, having positive
slope (m = 4) and intercept on log E axis equal to log
