CBSEENPH11019279

The radius of a metallic ring is R and coefficient of linear expansion is   straight alpha. What is the increase in area of ring when heated by 1°C?

Solution

Radius of the metallic ring = R
Coefficient of linear expansion = straight alpha 
The ring is heated by a temperature of 1oC. 
Therefore, increase in are of the ring = 2 παR squared.
