At what temperature (in \( ^{\circ} C\)) a gold ring of diameter \(6.230\) \(cm\) be heated so that it can be fitted on a wooden bangle of diameter \(6.241 \,cm\) ? Both the diameters have been measured at room temperature \(\left(27^{\circ} C \right)\). (Given: coefficient of linear thermal expansion of gold \(\alpha_{L}=1.4 \times 10^{-5} \,K ^{-1}\) )

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(152.7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta \ell=6.241-6.230=0.011 \,cm\)

\(\Delta \ell=\ell \alpha \Delta \theta\)

\(0.011=6.230 \times 1.4 \times 10^{-5}(\theta-27)\)

\(\theta-27=\frac{0.011 \times 10^{5}}{6.230 \times 1.4}\)

\(\theta \approx 153.11\) nearest is \(152.7^{\circ} C\)
