A solid whose volume does not change with temperature floats in a liquid. For two different temperatures `t_1` and `t_2` of the liqiud, fraction `f_1` and `f_2` of the volume of the solid remain submerged in the liquid. The coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid is equal to

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(f_(2)-f_(1))/(f_(1)f_(2)-f_(2)T_(1))`
