Question

A machinist needs to remove a tight fitting pin of material A from a hole in a block made of material B. The machinist heats both the pin and the block to the same high temperature and removes the pin easily. What statement relates the coefficient of thermal expansion of material A to that of material B

Answer 1

The coefficient of thermal expansion of material B is more than A

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that when we apply heat to a material it expands. The amount of expansion depends on the nature of the material. The amount of expansion depends on the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material.

If a material has high value of thermal expansion coefficient then it expands more.

here material A expands less and material B expands more because the pin which is made by material A becomes loosen, so the coefficient of thermal expansion of B is more than the coefficient of thermal expansion of A
