Which kind of pot would be better to use on a halogen cooktop? A. A shiny stainless steel pot B. A black cast iron pot C. It's equally OK to use either as long as you adjust the thickness so that the heat conduction is the same.

Consider a cube of an unknown material. When heated by 10 K, each side expands by 1%. Using *only this information*, what is the ratio between the coefficent of volume expansion and the coefficient of linear expansion (i.e., beta/alpha)? Express your answer to two significant ...

Those two values will have the same value if put in the way you wrote it. If the equation was written like: (5+5)^3 it would yield a different amount rather than 5+5^3. So,it all depends on how the equation is written.
