The coefficient of linear expansion of gold is `14xx10^(-6)//""^(@)C`. Find the coefficient of linear expansion on Fahrenheit scale.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`1^(@)C=9/5""^(@)F`
A difference of `1^(@)C` = A difference of `1.8^(@)F`.
The coefficient of linear expansion of gold
= `(14xx10^(-6))/(1^(@)C)=(14xx10^(-6))/(1.8^(@)F)=7.778xx10^(-6)""^(@)F^(-1)`
