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 is given by 2β=3γ or γ=23β=1.5β Hence x=1.5
