(b) A stone is lowered into the water so as to beCompletely covered and the water rises to a height of 9
cm. What is the volume of the stone?

1. (a) Define
i. gold leaf electroscope
ii. surface or charge density
iii. electrostatic induction

 (b). A liquid in glass thermometer has a bulb of 4 cm3 and the bore of the tube is 0.2 cm in
diameter. The interval between the fixed points is 10 cm. if the thermometer is heated from
0 oC to 100 oC, calculate the apparent expansivity of the liquid.
3. (a).A circular copper ring at 20.0°C has a hole with an area of 9.980 cm2.

having a cross-sectional area of 10.000 cm2?
(b). Suppose the ring and the rods are heated simultaneously. What minimum change in
temperature of both will allow the ring to be slipped onto the end of the rod? (Assume no
significant change in the coefficients of linear expansion over this temperature range.)
