A liquid with coefficient of volume expansion `gamma` is filled in a container of a material having coefficient of linear expansion `alpha` . If the liquid overflows on heating, then

A

`gamma=3alpha`

B

`gamma gt 3alpha`

C

`gamma lt 3alpha`

D

`gamma=3alpha^(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Coefficient of cubical expansion of container `=3alpha`.
When `gamma gt 3alpha`, increase in the volume of the liquid is more than that of vessel.
