List of top Physics Questions on thermal properties of matter asked in WBJEE

Two identical metal bars are heated in two different temperatures and allowed to cool in the same surroundings. Which one of the following figures correctly shows their cooling curves?

Temperature of a body \( \theta \) is slightly more than the temperature of the surroundings \( \theta_0 \). Its rate of cooling \( R \) versus temperature \( \theta \) graph should be 

The apparent coefficient of expansion of a liquid when heated in a copper vessel is \( C \) and in a silver vessel is \( S \). If \( A \) is the linear coefficient of expansion of copper, then the linear coefficient of expansion of silver is
The elastic potential energy of a strained body is:

A metal plate of area 10-2m2 rests on a layer of castor oil, 2 × 10-3m thick, whose viscosity coefficient is 1.55 Ns/m2. The approximate horizontal force required to move the plate with a uniform speed of 3 × 10-2ms-1 is:
