A cylinder of mass $1\,kg$ is given heat of $20000\, J$ at atmospheric pressure. If initially temperature of cylinder is $20\,^oC$, then work done by the cylinder will be .......$J$ (Given that Specific heat of cylinder $= 400 \,J\, kg^{-1}$, Coefficient of volume expansion $= 9 \times {10^{-5}}\,^o C^{-1}$, Atmospheric pressure $= 10^5 \,N/m^2$ and density of cylinder $9000\,kg/m^3$)
In the determination of Young's modulus $\left(Y=\frac{4 MLg }{\pi / d ^2}\right)$ by using Searle's method, a wire of length $L=2 \ m$ and diameter $d =0.5 \ mm$ is used. For a load $M =2.5 \ kg$, an extension $\ell=0.25 \ mm$ in the length of the wire is observed. Quantities $d$ and $\ell$ are measured using a screw gauge and a micrometer, respectively.
