A metal meter scale gives correct measurement at  400C  it is generally used at a temperature of 00C . Find the correction to be made for every meter  α=106/0C

a
4×10−5m
b
4×10−5mto be added
c
4×10−5mmust be deduted
d
none of the above

detailed solution

Correct option is C

change in length is Δl=lαΔt  l is initial length of rod =1m;α is coefficient of linear expansion=10-6/C  0 Δt  is change in temperatue; decreased from 400C to 00C Δl=1×10−6×40 Δl=4×10−5mIf t2
