A brass cube, 10 cm on a side, is raised in temperature by 150$\degree$C. The coefficient of volume expansion of brass is 57 *10 ^- ⁶/$\degree$C. By what percentage is any one of the 10-cm edges increased in length? A) 4% B) 2.8% C) 0.38% D) 0.29%

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The linear expansion coefficient is one-third of the volume expansion coefficient. The percentage increase in length is calculated as: (57 x 10^-6 / 3) x 150 = 0.285%, which is approximately 0.29%.
