MCQ
A cuboid $ABCDEFGH$ is anisotropic with $\alpha_x = 1 × 10^{-5} /^o C$, $\alpha_y = 2 × 10^{-5} /^o C$, $\alpha_z = 3 × 10^{-5} /^o C$. Coefficient of superficial expansion of faces can be
  • A
    $\beta_{ABCD} = 5 × 10^{-5} /^o C$
  • B
    $\beta_{BCGH} = 4 × 10^{-5} /^o C$
  • $\beta_{CDEH} = 3 × 10^{-5} /^o C$
  • D
    $\beta_{EFGH} = 2 × 10^{-5} /^o C$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\beta_{CDEH} = 3 × 10^{-5} /^o C$
c
Coefficient of superficial expansion of face $\mathrm{CDEH}=\alpha_{x}+\alpha_{y}=3 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
