The diameter of a brass ring at 30 °C is 50.0 cm. To what temperature must this ring be heated to increase its diameter to 50.29 cm? [ linear expansivity of brass = 1.9 x 105 K1]

A.

152.6 °C

B.

182.6 °C

C.

306.1 °C

D.

335.5 °C

Correct answer is A

L1=50.
T1 = 30 + 273 = 303k
Linear expansivity =  1.9 x 105

L2 = 50.29

Temp rise= ?

L2 - L1 = 50.29 - 50 = 0.29
Linear expansivity = L2L1L1(T2T1)

1.9 x 1050.2950(T2303)

1.9 x 105 * 50 (T2 - 303) = 0.29

T2 = 0.29501.9105 + 303

T2 = 152.6 °C
