34. Case Study: Read the following paragraphs and answer the questions. 4
It is our experience that most substances expand on heating and contract on'
cooling. A change in the temperature of the body causes a change in its
dimensions. The increase in the dimensions of a body due to the increase in its
temperature is called thermal expansion. The expansion in length is called linear
expansion, the expansion in area is called area expansion and the expansion in
volume is called volume expansion.
 The conduction ofheatthrough a substance depends on its cross-sectional area,
the difference in temperature between its opposite faces, time for rvhich the heat
flows, the thickness of the substance and nature of the substance.

Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is aperiodic motion in which a body moves to
and fro about its mean position, under a restoring force which is always directed
