(2) 50

(3) 112                                   

(4) 80

On a new scale of temperature (which is linear) and called the W scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are $39°W$ and $239°W$ respectively. What will be the temperature on the new scale, corresponding to a temperature of $39°C$ on the Celsius scale?

(1) $78°W$                                   

(2) $117°W$

(3) $200°W$

A metal bar of length \(L\) and area of cross-section \(A\) is clamped between two rigid supports. For the material of the rod, it's Young’s modulus is \(Y\) and the coefficient of linear expansion is \(\alpha.\) If the temperature of the rod is increased by \(\Delta t^{\circ} \text{C},\) the force exerted by the rod on the supports will be:
1. \(YAL\Delta t\)
2. \(YA\alpha\Delta t\)
3. \(\frac{YL\alpha\Delta t}{A}\)
4. \(Y\alpha AL\Delta t\)
