The volume of the bulb of a mercury thermometer at 0°C is V_0, and the cross section of the capillary is A_0. The coefficient of linear expansion of the glass is alpha_(g) per ""^(@) C, and the coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is gamma_(Hg) per ""^(@) C. If the mercury just fills the bulb at 0^(@) C, what is the length of the mercury column in the capillary at a temperature of t^(@) C? |

Answer» `h= (V_0)/( A_0) [ (gamma_(HG)-3 alpha_(g))/( 1+ 2 alpha_(g) t) ]t` |
