sections. The height of two central columns B
and C are 49 cm each. The two outer columns
A and D are open to atmosphere. A and C are
maintained at a temperature of 95ºC while the
columns B and D are maintained at 5ºC. The
height of the liquid in A and D measured
from the base line are 52.8 cm and 51cm
respectively. Determine the coefficient of
thermal expansion of the liquid.

Q.2 A thin rod of negligible mass and area of

cross-section 4 × 10–6m2, suspended vertically
from one end, has a length of 0.5m at 100ºC.
The rod is cooled to 0ºC but prevented from
contracting by attaching a mass at the lower
end. Find
(i) this mass, and (ii) the energy stored in the
rod. Given for the rod, Young's modulus =
