A sinker of weight `w_0` has an apparent weight `w_1` when weighed in a liquid at a temperature `t_1 and w_2` when weight in the same liquid at temperature `t_2`. The coefficient of cubical expansion of the material of sinker is `beta`. What is the coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(W_0-W_1)/(W_0-W_2)[(1+(T_2-T_1)gamma_(1s))/(T_2-T_1)]-1/(T_2-T_1)`
