A hole of diameter 5 cm is drilled in a metal sheet at 30 °C. The linear expansion of metal is 2×10-5 K-1. The diameter of the hole when the temperature is raised to 230 °C, is equal to

  1. A 5.01 cm
  2. B 5.02 cm
  3. C 5.03 cm
  4. D 5.04 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5.02 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Change in the temperature is ∆T=230-30=200°C. When the sheet is heated it will expand, thermal expansion is given by, L=L01+α∆T⇒L=5×1+2×10-5×200=5.02 cm
