A circular metallic ring of radius \(R\) has a small gap of width \(d.\) The coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal is \(\alpha\) in appropriate units. If we increase the temperature of the ring by an amount \(\Delta T,\) then the width of the gap:
| 1. | will increase by an amount of \(d\alpha \Delta T\) |
| 2. | will not change |
| 3. | will increase by an amount \(\left ( 2\pi R-d \right )\alpha \Delta T\) |
| 4. | will decrease by an amount of \(d\alpha \Delta T\) |

A metallic rod of length \(l\) (at \(0^\circ\text C\)) expands by \(\Delta l\) when its temperature is increased by \(100^\circ\text C.\) This rod is kept on a surface with its left end maintained at \(0^\circ\text C,\) and its right end at \(100^\circ\text C.\) The rod is insulated along its length, so heat can only be exchanged at the ends. The length of the rod is:
| 1. | \(l+\Delta l\) | 2. | \(l+\dfrac{\Delta l}{2}\) |
| 3. | \(l+\dfrac{\Delta l}{4}\) | 4. | \(l+\dfrac{3\Delta l}{4}\) |

As the temperature is increased, the period of a pendulum:
| 1. | increases as its effective length increases even though its centre of mass still remains at the centre of the bob. |
| 2. | decreases as its effective length increases even though its centre of mass still remains at the centre of the bob. |
| 3. | increases as its effective length increases due to the shifting of the centre of mass below the centre of the bob. |
| 4. | decreases as its effective length remains the same but the centre of mass shifts above the centre of the bob. |
