Small amount of mercury is poured in a glass container of 2 litres capacity. Calculate the volume of mercury in the container assuming that volume of air inside the container always remains same.
`alpha` for glass ` = 9 xx 10^(-6)""^@C^(-1)`
`alpha` for mercury ` = 0.6 xx 10^(-4) ""^@C^(-1)`

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the volume of mercury in a glass container of 2 liters capacity, taking into account the thermal expansion of both the mercury and the glass.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understand the Concept of Thermal Expansion**:
- When the temperature changes, materials expand. The volume change of a substance can be described using the volumetric thermal expansion coefficient (γ), which is related to the linear expansion coefficient (α) by the relation:
\[
\gamma = 3\alpha
