A metal ball immersed in alcohol weighs

{W_1}

at

{0^ \circ }C

and

{W_2}

at

{59^ \circ }C

. The coefficient of cubical of cubical expansion of the metal is less than that of alcohol. Assuming that the density of the metal is large compared to that of alcohol, it can be shown that

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

{W_1} < {W_2}

Option B (

{W_1} < {W_2}

) is correct because as temperature increases, the density of alcohol decreases more than the density of the metal, resulting in a smaller buoyant force and a larger apparent weight.

Four identical calorimeters painted in different colours, are heated to same temperature and then allowed to cool in vacuum. Which will cool fastest? An ice cube of dimensions

60 \mathrm{~cm} \times 50 \mathrm{~cm} \times 20 \mathrm{~cm}

is placed in an insulation box of wall thickness

1 \mathrm{~cm}

. The box keeping the ice cube at

. The rate of melting of ice is approximately.

(Latent heat of fusion of ice is

3.4 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}

and thermal conducting of insulation wall is
