Why does the cycle tube burst sometimes in summer?

Liquids do not have a definite shape nor a definite volume. In addition to this, direction application of heat in liquids is not practical. (Imagine putting water over the source of heat to heat it - either the source distinguishes or water evaporates). Thus, cubical expansion of liquid cannot be measured directly. It is measured by placing it in a vessel than applying related mathematical calculations.

Liquid is heated by keeping it in a container. When heat is supplied, all the supplied heat is absorbed by the container initially to increase its dimensions. Due to this, the volume of the container increases but that of the liquid remaining the same, the level of liquid in the container falls.

When the container has expanded enough and cannot take more heat, it then allows the liquid to consume the supplied heat. As the coefficient of cubical expansion of liquid is much greater than solid,...

Linear expansivity, superficial expansivity, and cubical expansivity are three measures of how much an object expands as a result of a change in temperature. These measures are related to the behavior of matter at the molecular level.

Linear expansivity is a measure of how much an object expands in one dimension, such as its length, width, or height, as a result of a change in temperature. It is usually expressed in units of length per length per degree Celsius (e.g. meters per meter per...

Yes, some substances have a negative value of linear expansivity, which means that they contract rather than expand when the temperature increases. This is because the expansion or contraction of a substance as a result of a change in temperature is determined by the behavior of the molecules that make up the substance.

The expansion or contraction of a substance is related to the kinetic energy of its molecules. When the temperature of a substance increases, the kinetic energy of its...

It is theoretically possible for a substance to have a negative value of cubical expansivity, which means that the substance would contract rather than expand when the temperature increases. However, it is very rare for a substance to have a negative value of cubical expansivity over a significant range of temperatures.

One example of a substance that has a negative value of cubical expansivity over a limited range of temperatures is water. Water has a positive value of cubical expansivity at...
