The radius of a metal sphere at room temperature T is R, and the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is alpha. The sphere is heated a little by a temperature DeltaT so that its new temperature is T+DeltaT. The increase in the volume of the sphere is approsimately.

Answer»

`2pi" "Ralpha" "DeltaT`
`piR^(2)" "alpha" "DeltaT`
`4/3pi" "R^(3)" "alpha" "DeltaT`
`4pi" "R^(3)" "alpha" "DeltaT`

Solution :SUPPOSE, radius of sphere is R in ROOM temperature T. Radius increases with increase in T.

Original volume of sphere `V_(0)=4/3piR^(3)`
Coefficient of linear EXPANSION = `alpha`
Coefficient of volume expansion `=3alpha`
`:.(DeltaV)/(V DeltaT)=3alpha`
`:.DeltaV=2alphaVDeltaT`
But `V=4/3piR^(3)`
`:.Delta=4piR^(3)alphaDeltaT`
