The linear expansivity of brass is 2 x 10-5C-1. If the volume of a piece of brass is 15.00cm3 at 00C, What is the volume at 100oC?

The linear expansivity of brass is 2 x 10-5C-1. If the volume of a piece of brass is 15.00cm3 at 00C, What is the volume at 100oC?

Answer Details

linear expansivity = $\frac{V_2-V_1}{V_1\times \Delta \theta }$

3 x 2 x 10-5 =$\frac{V_2-15}{15\times (100-0)}$

V2 = 15.09cm3
