A constant volume air thermometer is as shown in the figure below. Explain why the bottle is partly filled with mercury. Find the ratio fo volume of mercury present in the bottle to the volume of the bottle if the volume coefficients of mercury and glass are 1.8xx10^(-4)K^(-1) and 6xx10^(-5)K^(-1), respectively. |

Answer» Solution :(i) Given the TWO metal cylinders are of the same material. Their specific heat capacity and ensity are the same. In the equation `Q=msDelta thea,` express MASS in TERMS of volume and density. Volume of a cylinder `=pir^(2)l`, where 'R' and 'l' are its radius and length, respectively. Given heat supplied to both the cylinders is equal, `RARR Q_(A)=Q_(B)`. Ratio of the lengths and ratio of the radii of the cylinders is given. Hence, from the above equation, find the ratio of the rise in temperatures of the cylinders. 2:1 |
