Mercury, with a coefficient of thermal expansion \(\gamma\), is poured into a thin glass tube, which does not expand on heating. The length of the mercury column is \(L.\) If the temperature is raised by \(\theta,\) the new length of the mercury column will be:
1. \(L(1+\gamma\theta)\)
2. \(L(1+\frac\gamma2\theta)\)
3. \(L(1+\frac\gamma3\theta)\)
4. \(L(1+\frac{2\gamma}3\theta)\)

The coefficient of linear expansion of brass and steel rods are \(\alpha_1\) and \(\alpha_2\). Lengths of brass and steel rods are \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) respectively. If \((L_2-L_1)\) remains the same at all temperatures, which one of the following relations holds good?
1. \(\alpha_1L_2^2=\alpha_2L_1^2\)
2. \(\alpha_1^2L_2=\alpha_2^2L_1\)
3. \(\alpha_1L_1=\alpha_2L_2\)
4. \(\alpha_1L_2=\alpha_2L_1\)

A rod \(\mathrm{A}\) has a coefficient of thermal expansion \((\alpha_A)\) which is twice of that of rod \(\mathrm{B}\) \((\alpha_B)\). The two rods have length \(l_A,~l_B\) where \(l_A=2l_B\). If the two rods were joined end-to-end, the average coefficient of thermal expansion is:

1. \(\alpha_A\) 2. \(\dfrac{2\alpha_A}{6}\)
3. \(\dfrac{4\alpha_A}{6}\) 4. \(\dfrac{5\alpha_A}{6}\)
