A gas thermometer measures the temperature from the variation of pressure of a sample of gas. If the pressure measured at the melting point of lead is 2.20 times the pressure measured at the triple point of water, find the melting point of lead.

उत्तर
Given:
In a gas thermometer, the pressure measured at the melting point of lead, P = 2.20 × Pressure at triple point(Ptr)
So the melting point of lead,(T) is given as:
`T = P/P_(tr) × 273.16 K`
`=> T = (2.20 ×P_(tr))/P_(tr) × 273.16 K`
⇒ T =2.20 × 273.16 K
⇒ T = 600.952 K
⇒ T ≅ 601 K
Therefore, the melting point of lead is 601 K.

A brass rod of length 50 cm and diameter 3.0 mm is joined to a steel rod of the same length and diameter. What is the change in length of the combined rod at 250 °C, if the original lengths are at 40.0 °C? Is there a ‘thermal stress’ developed at the junction?
