Physics 2007 JAMB Past Questions - Question 36: A blacksmith heated a metal whose cubic expansivity is 6.3 x10-k-¹ .The real expansivity is
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
B
Explanation
If the lineal expansivity = ∝
=> area expansivity β= 2∝.
And cubic expansivity δ = 3∝.
=> 6.3 x 10-6 = 3∝
∴ ∝ = 6.3 x 10-6/3 = 2.1x 10-6
∴ Area = 2∝ = 2 x 2.1x10-6
= 4.2 x 10-6K-1
