$3. 60°$
$4. 75°$

Which of the following statement is correct regarding heat transfer?

1.  Forced convection requires gravity

2.  Natural convection requires gravity

3.  Radiation and forced convection requires gravity

4.  Neither natural nor forced convection requires gravity

An object kept in a large room having an air temperature of \(25^\circ \text{C}\) takes \(12\) minutes to cool from \(80^\circ \text{C}\) to \(70^\circ \text{C}.\) The time taken to cool for the same object from \(70^\circ \text{C}\) to \(60^\circ \text{C}\) would be nearly:
1. \(10\) min
2. \(12\) min
3. \(20\) min
4. \(15\) min

A deep rectangular pond of surface area \(A\), containing water (density = \(\rho,\) specific heat capacity = \(s\)), is located in a region where the outside air temperature is at a steady value of \(-26^{\circ}\text{C}\)$$. The thickness of the ice layer in this pond at a certain instant is \(x\). Taking the thermal conductivity of ice as \(k\), and its specific latent heat of fusion as \(L\), the rate of increase of the thickness of the ice layer, at this instant, would be given by:
1. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L-4s}\)
2. \(\dfrac{26k}{x^2\rho L}\)
3. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L}\)
4. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L+4s}\)

Two uniform rods of length \(L\) and \(2L\) and thermal coefficient of linear expansion \(2\alpha\)  and \(\alpha\) respectively, are connected as shown in the figure. The equivalent coefficient of linear expansion is:

                 
1. \(\frac{3\alpha}{4}\)
2. \(\frac{4\alpha}{3}\)
3. \(\frac{2\alpha}{3}\)
4. \(\frac{5\alpha}{3}\)

The graph AB shown in the figure is a plot of the temperature of a body in degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. Then,

In which of the following phenomenon heat convection does not take place

1. land and sea breeze

2. boiling of water

3. heating of glass surface due to filament of the bulb

4. air around the furnace

Recently, the phenomenon of super conductivity has been observed at 73 K. This temperature is nearly equal to

1. $-288°\mathrm{F}$

2. $-146°\mathrm{F}$

3. $-328°\mathrm{F}$

4. $+178°\mathrm{F}$

If a graph is plotted between the temperature of a body in degrees Celsius (along the \(\mathrm{y}\)-axis) and Fahrenheit (along the \(\mathrm{x}\)-axis) at different temperatures, then the slope of the graph will be:
1. \(\frac{5}{9}\)

2. \(\frac{9}{5}\)

3. \(\frac{3}{5}\)

4. \(\frac{5}{3}\)

Which of the following is true in modern thermometry?

1. Triple point of water is fixed

2. Boiling point of water is fixed

3. Melting point of ice is fixed

4. Dew point is fixed
