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

2. \(117^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)
3. \(200^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)
4. \(139^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)

The ice-point reading on a thermometer scale is found to be \(20^\circ,\) while the steam point is found to be \(70^\circ.\) When this thermometer reads \(100^\circ ,\) the actual temperature is:
1. \(80^\circ~\mathrm{C}\)
2. \(130^\circ~\mathrm{C}\)
3. \(160^\circ~\mathrm{C}\)
4. \(200^\circ~\mathrm{C}\)

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?

3. \(\alpha_1L_1=\alpha_2L_2\)

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

A brass wire \(1.8\) m long at \(27\) °C is held taut with a little tension between two rigid supports.
