 A sheet of steel at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) has size as shown in figure below. If the co-efficient of linear expansion for steel is \(10^{-5 \circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}\), then what is the change in the area at \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ?

  1. A \(0.84 \mathrm{~cm}^2\)
  2. B \(0.64 \mathrm{~cm}^2\)
  3. C \(0.24 \mathrm{~cm}^2\)
  4. D \(0.14 \mathrm{~cm}^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.64 \mathrm{~cm}^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(t_1=20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(t_2=60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) Coefficient of linear expansion, \(\alpha=10^{-5 \circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}\) As we know that, coefficient of area expansion is…
