A horizontal tube, open at both ends, contains a column of liquid. The length of this liquid column does not change with temperature. Let `gamma` : coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid and `alpha` : coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the tubeA. `gamma=alpha`B. `gamma=2alpha`C. `gamma=3alpha`D. `gamma=0`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Let `A_(0)` : area of `X`-section at `0^(@)C`
`A_(theta)` : area of `X`-section at `theta^(@)C`
`V_(0)` : volume of liquid at `0^(@)C`
`V_(theta)` : volume of liquid at `theta^(@)C`
`l` : length of liquid column (constant)
`V_(0)=lA_(0)` , `V_(theta)=lA_(theta)` , `A_(theta)=A_(0)(1+2alphatheta)`
`V_(theta)=V_(0)(1+gammatheta)`
`lA_(theta)=lA_(0)(1+gammatheta)`
`A_(theta)(1+2alphatheta)=A_(0)(1+gammatheta)`
`gamma=2alpha`
