The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is `153xx10^(-6)//^(@)C` and in a steel vessel is `114xx10^(-6)//^(@)C`. If `alpha` for steel is `12xx10^(-6)//^(@)C`, then that of glass isA. `9xx10^(-6)//^(@)C`B. `6xx10^(-6)//^(@)C`C. `36xx10^(-6)//^(@)C`D. `27xx(10^(-6)//^(@)C`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`gamma_("real")=gamma_("app")+gamma_("vessel")`
`implies153xx10^-6+(gamma_("vessel"))_("glass")=144xx10^-6+(gamma_("vessel"))_("steel")`
Further `(gamma_("vessel"))_("steel")=3alpha=3xx(12xx10^-6)`
`=36xx(10^(-6)//^@C`
`153xx10^-6+(gamma_("vessel"))_("glass")=144xx10^-6+36xx10^-6`
`(gamma_("vessel"))_("glass")=27xx10^(-6)//^@C`
or `alpha=(gamma_("glass"))/(3)9xx10^(-6)//^@C`
