Answer» A one-litre flask contains some mercury. It is found that at different temperatures the volume of air inside the flask remains the same. What is the volume of mercury in the flask? Given the coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $9 \times 10^{- 6}^{\circ} C^{- 1}$ and the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is $1.8 \times 10^{- 4}^{\circ} C^{- 1}$
