JEE PYQ: Thermal Properties Of Matter Question 7
Question 7 - 2020 (07 Jan 2020 Shift 1)
A non-isotropic solid metal cube has coefficients of linear expansion as: $5 \times 10^{-5}$/°C along the $x$-axis and $5 \times 10^{-6}$/°C along the $y$ and the $z$-axis. If the coefficient of volume expansion of the solid is $C \times 10^{-6}$/°C then the value of C is ____.
Show Answer
Answer: 60
Solution
$\gamma = \frac{\Delta l}{l} + \frac{\Delta b}{b} + \frac{\Delta h}{h} = 5 \times 10^{-5} + 5 \times 10^{-6} + 5 \times 10^{-6} = 60 \times 10^{-6}$/°C. Value of $C = 60$
