Q17.4
When the temperature of a certain solid, rectangular object
increases by ∆T, the length of one side of the object increases by
0.010% = 1.0 10–4 of the original length. The increase in volume
of the object due to this temperature increase is
A. 0.010% = 1.0 10–4 of the original volume.
B. (0.010)3% = 0.0000010% = 1.0 10–8 of the original volume.
C. (1.0 10–4)3 = 0.00000000010% = 1.0 10–12 of the original
volume.
D. 0.030% = 3.0 10–4 of the original volume.
E. Not enough information is given to decide.
