10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
easy
The coefficient of linear expansion of a crystalline substance in one direction is $2 \times 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and in every direction perpendicular to it is $3 \times 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of crystal is equal to ........... $\times 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} C$
A
$5$
B
$4$
C
$8$
D
$7$
Solution
(c)
$\alpha_1+\alpha_2+\alpha_3=\alpha$
$2 \times 10^{-4}+3 \times 10^{-4}+3 \times 10^{-4}=\alpha$
$\Rightarrow 8 \times 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} C =\alpha$
