Problem

A square brass plate of side 0.25 m0.25\,\text{m} contains a centrally cut square hole of side 0.05 m0.05\,\text{m}. The coefficient of superficial expansion of brass is 3.8×10−5 ∘C−13.8 \times 10^{-5}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}. Calculate the rise in temperature required so that the area of the hole increases by 1%1\%.
