Each side of a box made of metal sheet in cubic shape is a at room temperature T , the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal sheet is α . The metal sheet is heated uniformly, by a small temperature Δ T , so that its new temperature is T + Δ T . Calculate the increase in the volume of the metal box.
Options
- A4 a 3 α Δ T
- B3 a 3 α Δ T
- C4 π a 3 α Δ T
- D4 3 π a 3 α Δ T
Correct answer
B. 3 a 3 α Δ T
Step-by-step solution
Δ V = V γ Δ T Δ V = 3 a 3 α Δ T
