A liquid having a coefficient of volume ...

A liquid having a coefficient of volume expansion `gamma` is filled in a cylindrical vessel made out of glass having coefficient of lienar expansion `alpha = (gamma)/( 5)` . At room temperature , the level of liquid in the vessel is`l_(0)` and when the temperature is increased by `Delta T`, the level of liquid in the vessel becomes `l~~ l_(0)= ( 1+ n alpha Delta T)`. What is the value of n ? [Given`, alpha Delta T lt lt 1`]

The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( n \) in the equation \( l = l_0(1 + n \alpha \Delta T) \), we need to analyze the expansion of both the liquid and the cylindrical vessel due to the temperature increase \( \Delta T \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Coefficients of Expansion**: - The coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid is given as \( \gamma \). - The coefficient of linear expansion of the glass vessel is given as \( \alpha = \frac{\gamma}{5} \). 2. **Initial Setup**: - At room temperature, the height of the liquid in the vessel is \( l_0 \). - When the temperature increases by \( \Delta T \), the new height of the liquid is \( l \). 3. **Volume Expansion of the Liquid**: - The volume of the liquid initially is: \[ V_0 = A l_0 \] where \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the vessel. - The change in volume of the liquid when the temperature increases by \( \Delta T \) is given by: \[ \Delta V = V_0 \gamma \Delta T = A l_0 \gamma \Delta T \] - The new volume of the liquid is: \[ V = V_0 + \Delta V = A l_0 + A l_0 \gamma \Delta T = A l_0 (1 + \gamma \Delta T) \] 4. **Expansion of the Vessel**: - The linear expansion of the vessel causes its height to increase. The change in height \( \Delta h \) of the vessel due to the temperature increase is: \[ \Delta h = \alpha \Delta T \cdot l_0 \] - Therefore, the new height of the vessel is: \[ l_{vessel} = l_0 + \Delta h = l_0 + \alpha \Delta T \cdot l_0 = l_0(1 + \alpha \Delta T) \] 5. **Relating the New Height of the Liquid**: - The new height of the liquid \( l \) must equal the new height of the vessel, which is: \[ l = \frac{V}{A} = \frac{A l_0 (1 + \gamma \Delta T)}{A} = l_0 (1 + \gamma \Delta T) \] 6. **Setting the Equations Equal**: - We have two expressions for the new height of the liquid: \[ l = l_0(1 + n \alpha \Delta T) \quad \text{and} \quad l = l_0(1 + \gamma \Delta T) \] - Equating these gives: \[ l_0(1 + n \alpha \Delta T) = l_0(1 + \gamma \Delta T) \] 7. **Simplifying the Equation**: - Dividing both sides by \( l_0 \) (assuming \( l_0 \neq 0 \)): \[ 1 + n \alpha \Delta T = 1 + \gamma \Delta T \] - Thus, we can equate the coefficients of \( \Delta T \): \[ n \alpha = \gamma \] 8. **Substituting \( \alpha \)**: - Recall that \( \alpha = \frac{\gamma}{5} \): \[ n \left(\frac{\gamma}{5}\right) = \gamma \] - Solving for \( n \): \[ n = 5 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( n \) is \( 5 \).
