10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
normal
Two holes of unequal diameters $d_1$ and $d_2\, (d_1 > d_2)$ are cut in a metal sheet. If the sheet is heated

A
both $d_1$ and $d_2$ will decrease
B
both $d_1$ and $d_2$ will increase
C
$d_1$ will increase, $d_2$ will decrease
D
$d_1$ will decrease, $d_2$ will increase
Solution
If the sheet is heated then both $d_1$ and $d_2$ will increase since the thermal expansion of isotropic solid is similar to true photographic enlargement
