Question
A metal sheet with a circular hole is heated. The hole
Options
gets larger
gets smaller
retains its size
is deformed
Advertisements
Solution
gets larger
When a metal sheet is heated, it starts expanding and its surface area will start increasing, which will lead to an increase in the radius of the hole. Hence, the circular hole will become larger.
