Answer:
10.3 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Original volume (V₁) = 10 cm³
Initial temperature (θ₁) = 20 °C
Final temperature (θ₂) = 50 °C
Cubic expansivity (γ) = 10¯³ K¯¹
Final volume (V₂) =?
γ = V₂ – V₁ / V₁(θ₂ – θ₁)
10¯³ = V₂ – 10 / 10( 50 – 20)
10¯³ = V₂ – 10 / 10(30)
10¯³ = V₂ – 10 / 300
Cross multiply
10¯³ × 300 = V₂ – 10
0.3 = V₂ – 10
Collect like terms
0.3 + 10 = V₂
10.3 = V₂
V₂ = 10.3 cm³
Thus, the volume at 50 °C is 10.3 cm³
