A) 2.7
B) 2
C) 1.5
D) 9.5
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The linear expansivity of a solid is also referred to as the thermal coefficient of linear expansion, and is frequently given the symbol \[(\alpha ).\] As solids expand, so does their surface areas and volumes. The terms superficial expansivity \[(\beta )\] or thermal coefficient of superficial expansion is used when describing area changes due to temperature changes. For volume changes, the term cubic expansivity \[(\gamma )\] or thermal coefficient of cubic expansion is used. For most solids, the relationships \[\gamma =3\alpha \]and \[\beta =2\alpha \]hold. Hence, we have \[\gamma =\frac{3\beta }{2}=1.5\,\beta \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x\,\beta =1.5\beta \] \[(\because \,\gamma =x\beta )\] Hence, value of \[x\] is 1.5.
