In the text there is a table of coefficients of linear (α)and volume (β)expansions due to temperature changes.For the solid materials in this list,there is a relationship between α and β which allows you to find the value of β if you know α.Which of the following best describes that relationship? A)α = β³ B)3α = β C)α = 3β D)α³ = β

Question

The relationship between the linear expansion coefficient (α) and the volume expansion coefficient (β) for solid materials is given by β = 3α. This is because volume expansion is roughly three times the linear expansion in each dimension (length, width, height) for isotropic materials.
