Question

A manganese sheet of dimensions 20 cm×30 cm at 25 C is heated to 75 C, if the area of the sheet is increased by 0.72 cm2, what is the coefficient of superficial thermal expansion of manganese in 106 C1?
  1. 24

Solution

The correct option is A 24
Given:
The initial dimensions of the manganese sheet, 20 cm×30 cm Initial area, A0=20×30=600 cm2
Increase in the area, ΔA=0.72 cm2
The rise in temperature, ΔT=7525=50 C
We know that the coefficient of superficial thermal expansion, β is given by:
β=ΔAA0ΔT

βMn=0.72600×50

βMn=2.4×105 C1

βMn=24×106 C1
