A pitcher containing 1,000 milliliters of water is filled to the brim at 20 deg C and placed outside. If the temperature of the water rises to 35 deg C before the person reaches for the pitcher, how much water will have spilled over the top of the pitcher? Assume the pitcher does not expand.

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 ? The ends of the rod are free to expand (Co-efficient of linear expansion of brass = 2.0×10-5 K-1 steel =1.2×10-5 K-1
