A thermometer is graduated in millimeters. It registers −3 mm-3 \mathrm{~mm} when the bulb of thermometer is in pure melting ice and 22 mm22 \mathrm{~mm} when the thermometer is in steam at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. The temperature in ∘C{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} when the thermometer registers 13 mm13 \mathrm{~mm} is

Assertion (A): A brass disc fits snugly in the hole of the iron plate. To remove the disc the combination must be heated.
Reason (R): The coefficient of linear expansion of brass is less than that of iron
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both (A) and (R) are false
Option C (If (A) is true but (R) is false) is correct because the pendulum clock runs slow in summer due to the increased length of the pendulum, which increases the time period.

Assertion (A): A man would feel iron or wooden balls equally hot at 98.4∘F98.4^{\circ} \mathrm{F}
Reason (R): At 98.4∘F98.4^{\circ} \mathrm{F} both iron and wood have same thermal conductivity.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If (A) is true but (R) is false
Option C is correct. Assertion (A) is true because at the same temperature, the sensation of hotness depends on the rate of heat transfer, which is the same when both objects are at body temperature. Reason (R) is false because iron and wood have different thermal conductivities.

A correct thermometer in Fahrenheit is introduced in a water bath along with a Celsius thermometer. The reading observed are 86∘F{86^ \circ }F and 32∘C{32^ \circ }C the correction to be made to the Celsius reading will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
2∘C{2^ \circ }C
Option B (2∘C{2^\circ }C) is correct because the correct Celsius reading should be 30°C, and the observed reading is 32°C, so the correction is -2°C, which means we need to subtract 2°C from the reading, or add +2°C to the actual temperature.

Assertion: A fluid in vacuum expands such that it changes to gaseous state. Its temperature decreases.
Reason: It uses its internal energy as heat of vaporization.
View answer and explanation

Which one of the following processes depends on gravity
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
ConvectionConvection
Option B (ConvectionConvection) is correct because convection involves the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) due to density differences caused by temperature gradients, and gravity plays a crucial role in establishing these density differences.
