Write the relation between the coefficient of linear expansion $(\alpha_l)$,coefficient of area expansion $(\alpha_A)$,and coefficient of volume expansion $(\alpha_V)$.
(N/A) The coefficient of linear expansion $(\alpha_l)$ is defined as the fractional change in length per unit change in temperature.
The coefficient of area expansion $(\alpha_A)$ is defined as the fractional change in area per unit change in temperature,which is approximately $2\alpha_l$.
The coefficient of volume expansion $(\alpha_V)$ is defined as the fractional change in volume per unit change in temperature,which is approximately $3\alpha_l$.
Therefore,the relationship between them is given by the ratio: $\alpha_l : \alpha_A : \alpha_V = 1 : 2 : 3$.
The coefficient of area expansion $(\alpha_A)$ is defined as the fractional change in area per unit change in temperature,which is approximately $2\alpha_l$.
The coefficient of volume expansion $(\alpha_V)$ is defined as the fractional change in volume per unit change in temperature,which is approximately $3\alpha_l$.
Therefore,the relationship between them is given by the ratio: $\alpha_l : \alpha_A : \alpha_V = 1 : 2 : 3$.

View SolutionThe difference in length between two rods $A$ and $B$ is $60 \text{ cm}$ at all temperatures. If $\alpha_{A} = 18 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}\text{C}$ and $\alpha_{B} = 27 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}\text{C}$,the lengths of the two rods are:
Two rods are joined between fixed supports as shown in the figure. The condition for no change in the total length of the system with an increase in temperature is given by:
($\alpha_1, \alpha_2$ = linear expansion coefficients,$A_1, A_2$ = cross-sectional areas of rods,$Y_1, Y_2$ = Young's moduli)
