Q.

A hole is drilled in a metal sheet. At 27°C, the diameter of the hole is 5 cm. When the sheet is heated to 177°C, the change in the diameter of the hole is d×10-3 cm. The value of d will be _______ if the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is 1.6×10-5/°C.                      [2023]


Ans.

(12)

d0 at 27°C and d1 at 177°C

d1=d0(1+αΔT)

(d1-d0)=5×1.6×10-5×150 cm=12×10-3 cm
