A glass bottle of initial volume 2 x 104 cm3 is heated from 20oC to 50oC. If the linear expansivity of glass is 9 x 10-6K-1, the volume of the bottle at 50oC is

A.

20016.2cm3

B.

20005.4cm3

C.

20008.1cm3

D.

20013.5cm3

Correct answer is A

γ=V2V1V(θ)

3(9×104)=V22×1042×104(30)

V2 - 2 x 104 = 2 x 104 (30) x 3 (9 x 10-6)


V2 = 2 x 104 2 x 104 (30) x 3 (9 x 10-6)


V2 = 16.2 + 2 x 104

V2 = 20016.2cm3
