$A$ silver rod of $100 \; cm$ at $0^{\circ} C$ is heated to $100^{\circ} C$. Its length increases by $0.19 \; cm$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of the silver rod is:

  • A
    $5.7 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $0.63 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • C
    $1.9 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • D
    $16.1 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
