TS EAMCET · Physics · Thermal Properties of Matter

A metal metre scale that is accurate up to 0.5 mm is made at a temperature of \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The range of temperatures within which it can be used is
(Coefficient of linear expansion of the metal \(=10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) )

  1. A \(+25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(+75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(+25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(+50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(-25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(+75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(+50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(+75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T\) \(\Delta T = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0 \alpha} = \frac{0.5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}}{(1 \text{ m})(10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C})} = 50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)…
