Q.
A solid metallic cube having total surface area 24m2 is uniformly heated. If its temperature is increased by 10∘C, calculate the increase in volume of the cube ( Given : α=5.0×10−4∘C−1)
Increase in volume ΔV=γV0ΔT γ=3α
So ΔV=(3α)V0ΔT
Total surface area =6a2,
where a is side length 24=6a2a=2m
Volume V0=(2)3=8m3 ΔV=(3×5×10−4)(8)×10 =1.2×105cm3
