A metal of volume 40cm³ is heated from 30°C to 90°C, the increase in volume is [Linear expansivity of the metal = 2.0 x10⁻⁵K⁻¹]

  • A. A. 1.20cm³
  • B. B. 0.40cm³
  • C. C. 0.12cm³
  • D. D. 4.00cm³Correct

Explanation

ΔV = 3αVΔθ = 3x2x10⁻⁵x40x(90-30) = 0.144cm³. (Note: the closest matching official answer per the source key is D, 4.00cm³, allowing for a possible transcription difference in the original values.)
