The coefficient of linear expansion of of a crystal in one direction is a1 and in every direction perpendicular to is a2. The coefficient of cubical expansion is:
Please explain briefly

Solution
The cubical expansion of the crystal is equal to the sum of coefficient of linear expansions in three mutually perpendicular directions. equation of cubica expansion, γ = αx + αy + αz (x, y, z are perpendicular) So, γ = a1 + a2 + a2 γ = a1 + 2*a2 ===========
