The following figure shows a rod made of wood on one end and metal on the other end
suspended freely with a piece of thread so that it is in equilibrium.

The side made of metal is now heated with a Bunsen flame. State with a reason, the side to
which the rod is likely to tilt

---

It tilts to the side with woo because when metal is heated it expands and becomes lighter.
