Explain, what is meant by the coefficients of linear `(alpha)`, superficial `(beta)` and cubical expansion `(gamma)` of a solid. Gien their units. Find the relatisphip between them.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`alpha : beta : gamma = 1 : 2: 3`
`SI` unit for `alpha, beta, gamma` are `K^(-1)` or `.^(@)C^(-1)`
