The machinist heats both the pin and and the block to the same high temperature and removes the pin easily
What statement relates the coefficient of thermal expansion of material A to that of material B? A) Material B has a greater coefficient of expansion than does material A. B) The situation is not possible, heating block B will shrink the hole in the material as the material expands with increasing temperature. C) Material B has the same coefficient of expansion as does material A. D) Material B has a negative coefficient of expansion and A has a positive coefficient of expansion. E) Material A has a greater coefficient of expansion than does material B.
