Physics Question on Thermal Expansion

If the coefficients of cubical expansion is x times coefficient of superficial expansion, then value of x is:

A

3

B

2.5

C

2

D

1.5

Answer

1.5

Explanation

Solution

The relation between cubical expansion and superficial expansion β\beta is given by β2=γ3\frac{\beta }{2}=\frac{\gamma }{3} or γ=3β2=1.5β\gamma =\frac{3\beta }{2}=1.5\beta Hence x=1.5x=1.5
