A piece of metal floats on mercury. The coefficients of volume expansion of the metal and mercury are `gamma_1` and `gamma_2` respectively. If the temperatures of both mercury and the metal are increased by an amount `DeltaT`, the fraction of the volume of the metal submerged in mercury changes by the factor............
