Q. 11.8 A hole is drilled in a copper sheet. The diameter of the hole is at What is the change in the diameter of the hole when the sheet is heated to Coefficient of linear expansion of copper
Coefficient of linear expansion of copper
Coefficient of superficial expansion of copper is
Diameter of the hole at 27 oC (d1) = 4.24 cm
Area of the hole at 227 oC is
Let the diameter at 227 oC be d2
Change in diameter is d2 -d1 = 4.24 -4.254 = 0.014 cm.
