Two straight metallic strips each of thickness $t$ and length $\ell$ are riveted together. Their coefficients of linear expansion are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$. If they are heated through a temperature change $\Delta T$,the bimetallic strip will bend to form an arc of radius:

Each side of a cubic metal box is $a$ at room temperature $T$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal sheet is $\alpha$. The metal box is heated uniformly by a small temperature $\Delta T$,so that its new temperature is $T + \Delta T$. Calculate the increase in the volume of the metal box.
