QQuestion

Write whether the following statement is True or False:

If coefficient of linear expansion of iron is 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ /°C, then coefficient of cubical expansion of iron is 3.6 × 10⁻⁵ /°C.

Exam-ready answer 01 Mark

Answer

True

Explanation

The relationship between the coefficients of expansion for an isotropic solid is: γ = 3α

∴ γ = 3α = 3 × 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ = 3.6 × 10⁻⁵ /°C
