  • question_answer
    The volume of a metal sphere increases by 0.24% when its temperature is raised by 40°C. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is ..........  °C             [Kerala PMT 2005]

    A)            2 ´ 10?5                                   

    B)            6 ´ 10?5

    C)            2.1 ´ 10?5                               

    D)            1.2 ´ 10?5

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\gamma =\frac{\Delta V}{V.\Delta T}=\frac{0.24}{100\times 40}=6\times {{10}^{-5}}/{}^\circ C\] Þ \[\alpha =\frac{\gamma }{3}=2\times {{10}^{-5}}/{}^\circ C\]
