When a block of iron in mercury at `0^@C,` fraction `K_1`of its volume is submerged, while at the temperature `60^@C,` a fraction `K_2` is seen to be submerged. If the coefficient of volume expansion of iron is `gamma_(Fe)` and that of mercury is `gamma_(Hg),` then the ratio `(K_1)//(K_2)` can be expressed as

Solids and liquids both expands on heating. The density of substance decreases on expanding according to the relation rho_(2) = (rho_(1))/(1 + gamma(T_(2)- T_(1))) , where , rho_(1) rarr "density at" T_(1) , rho_(2) rarr "density at" T_(2) , gamma rarr coefficient of volume expansion of substances. When a solid is submerged in a liquid , liquid exerts an upward force on solid which is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by submerged part of solid. Solid will float or sink depends on relative densities of solid and liquid .
