A hole is drilled in a copper sheet. The diameter of the hole is 4.24 cm at 27.0°C. What is the change in the diameter of the hole when the sheet is heated to 227°C ? Coefficient of linear expansion of copper = 1.70 × 10–5 K–1.
  1. Diameter decreases by 7.2 × 10–3 cm
  2. Diameter increases by 7.2 × 10–3 cm
  3. Diameter decreases by 1.44 × 10–2 cm
  4. Diameter increases by 1.44 × 10–2 cm

Answer

(D) Diameter increases by 1.44 × 10 –2 cm
