A black body at $227°C$ radiates heat at the rate of 7 cal $c{m}^{-2}{s}^{-1}.$ At a temperature of $727°C,$ the rate of heat radiated in the same units will be

(2) 50

(3) 112                                   

(4) 80

The two ends of a rod of length L and a uniform cross-sectional area A are kept at two temperatures $T_1 and T_2\left(T_1> T_2\right).$The rate f heat transfer, $\frac{dQ}{dt},$ through the rod in a steady state is given by 

(1) $\frac{dQ}{dt}=\frac{KL\left(T_1-T_2\right)}{A}$                       

(2) $\frac{{\displaystyle dQ}}{{\displaystyle dt}}=\frac{{\displaystyle KL\left(T_1-T_2\right)}}{{\displaystyle LA}}$

(3) $\frac{dQ}{dt}=KLA\left(T_1-T_2\right)$

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) $200°W$                                 

(4) $139°W$

To keep constant time, watches are fitted with balance wheel made of -

(1) Invar                                 

(2) Stainless steel

(3) Tungsten

A metal bar of length \(L\) and area of cross-section \(A\) is clamped between two rigid supports. For the material of the rod, its Young’s modulus is \(Y\) and the coefficient of linear expansion is \(\alpha\). If the temperature of the rod is increased by \(\Delta t^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), 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. \(Y\alpha AL\Delta t\)

The pressure applied from all directions on a cube is P. How much its temperature should be raised to maintain the original volume ? The volume elasticity of the cube is  $\beta$ and the coefficient of volume expansion is $\alpha$ -

(1) $\frac{P}{\alpha \beta }$

(3) $\frac{P\beta }{\alpha }$                                 

(4) $\frac{\alpha \beta }{P}$

Under steady state, the temperature of a body 

(1) Increases with time

(2) Decreases with time

(3) Does not change with time and is same at all the points of the body

(4) Does not change with time but is different at different points of the body

The coefficient of thermal conductivity depends upon

(1) Temperature difference of two surfaces

(2) Area of the plate

(3) Thickness of the plate

(4) Material of the plate
