Choose the wrong statements from the following. Two spheres made of the same mat
Choose the wrong statements from the following. Two spheres made of the same material have the same diameter. One sphere is hollow and the other is solid. If they are heated through the same range of temperature, Then: This question has multiple correct options
- A. Both spheres will expand equally.
- B. Hollow sphere will expand more than solid one
- C. solid sphere will expand more than hollow one
- D. Solid sphere will expand three times that of hollow sphere
Step-by-step solution
Both spheres are made of the same material and have the same outer diameter. The linear expansion of a material depends only on the coefficient of linear expansion, initial length, and temperature change, not on whether the object is hollow or solid. Thus, the outer diameter of both spheres increases by the same amount when heated through the same temperature range.
