A non-isotropic solid metal cube has coefficient of linear expansion as 5×10−5/∘C along the x-axis and 5×10−6/∘C along y-axis and z-axis. If the coefficient of volumetric expansion of the solid is C×10−6/∘C then the value of C is

We know that, V=xyz Δvv=Δxx+Δyy+Δzz1TΔvv=1TΔxx+1TΔyy+1TΔzzy=αn+αy+αzy=50×10−6/∘C+5×10−6/∘C+5×10−6/∘Cy=60×10−6/∘C∴C=60
