If $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion of a material at 0ºC,the volume thermal-expansion coefficient of this material at 0ºC is A)~$\alpha$ B)~3$\alpha$ C)~$\alpha$³ D)~$\alpha$^1/3 E)None of these is correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume thermal-expansion coefficient is approximately three times the linear expansion coefficient for most materials, hence the correct answer is ~3 times the given linear expansion coefficient.
