Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
linear expansivity = \(\frac {V_2 - V_1}{V_1 {\times} {\Delta}{\theta}}\)
3 x 2 x 10-5 =\(\frac {V_2 - 15}{15 {\times} (100 - 0)}\)
V2 = 15.09cm3
linear expansivity = \(\frac {V_2 - V_1}{V_1 {\times} {\Delta}{\theta}}\)
3 x 2 x 10-5 =\(\frac {V_2 - 15}{15 {\times} (100 - 0)}\)
V2 = 15.09cm3
