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

\(\gamma = \frac{V_2 - V_1}{V(\theta)}\)

\(3(9 \times 10^4) = \frac{V_2 - 2 \times 10^4}{2 \times 10^4(30)}\)

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
