What ismeantby coefficient oflinearexpansionsuperficial&cubicalexpansion ?

Answer»

Solution :Linear :
When a solidrod of initiallengthl isheatedthrougha temperature`Delta T` , itsfinallength(increased ) is GIVENBY
`L = L_(0) + Delta L = L_(0)(1+ alpha DeltaT)`
Where
`alpha` is coefficientoflinearexpansion. It isgivenby
`alpha= (Delta L)/(L_(0))XX (1)/( Delta T)`
`alpha ` is definedas the increase inlengthperunitlengthperdegreerisein temperature .
Supeerficial expansion :
Whenasolidsheetof initialsurfacearea A isheatedthrogh a temperature`Delta T`itsfinalarea(INCREASES ) isgiven by
`A' = A_(0)+DELTAA= A_(0)(1+ beta DeltaT)`
`beta -` coefficient of superficialexpansion. It isgivenby,`beta = (Delta A)/(A_(0)) xx (1)/(DeltaT)`
It isdefinedastheincrease in surfacearea perunitareaperdegreerise in temperature
Cubicalexpansion :
When asolidof initialvolumeVisheatedthroughatemperature`DeltaT`itsfinal volumeisgivenby
`V' = V_(0) + DeltaV= V_(0) (1 + gammaDeltaT)`
`gamma-`coefficient ofcubicalexpansionand itisdefinedastheincreasein volumeperunitvolumeperdegreerisein temperature
`gamma = (DeltaV)/(V_(0))xx (1)/(Delta T)`
