The linear expansivity of brass is 2 x 10-5oC-1. If the volume of a piece of brass is 10cm3 at 0oC, what will be its volume at 100oC?

The linear expansivity of brass is 2 x 10-5oC-1. If the volume of a piece of brass is 10cm3 at 0oC, what will be its volume at 100oC?

Answer Details

3 x $\alpha$ = $\frac{V_2-V_1}{\Delta \theta \times V_1}$

3 x 2 x 10-5 = $\frac{V_2-10}{10\times 100}$

V2 = 10.06cm3
