Hello student,
Can you instead upload a scanned question.
What I understand from the question is that you want to know which relation you should use when you have thermal expansion and when you expansion under Hooke’s Law.
Hooke’s Law is valid when the expansion takes place under the weight of the body iytself.
The Thermal expansion rule is applied when you give heat to the object and under that heat the object expands.
Thanks & Regards
