A rod of silver of $100\;cm$ is at $0^{\circ} C$ is heated to $100^{\circ} C$. Its length is increased by $0.19 \,cm .$ Coefficient of cubical expansion of the silver rod is
A
$5.7 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
B
$0.63 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
C
$1.9 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
D
$16.1 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
(AIIMS-2019)
Solution
$\alpha=\frac{\Delta L}{L_{0}(\Delta \theta)}$
$=\frac{0.19 cm }{100 cm \left(100^{\circ} C -0^{\circ} C \right)}$
$=1.9 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
The coefficient of cubical expansion is
$Y=3 \alpha$
$=3 \times 1.9 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
$=5.7 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
