A vertical glass tube of length L = 1.280 000 m is half filled with a liquid at `20.000 000 ^@C` .How much will the height of the liquid column change when the tube and liquid are healted to 30.000 000 `""^@C` ? Use coefficients `alpha_("glass") = 2.000 000 xx 10^(-5)//K and beta _("liquid")=4.000 000 xx10^(-5)//K`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the change in height of the liquid column in the glass tube when both the tube and the liquid are heated from 20°C to 30°C. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Initial Conditions:** - Length of the glass tube, \( L = 1.280 \, \text{m} \) - Initial temperature, \( T_i = 20.000 \, ^\circ C \) - Final temperature, \( T_f = 30.000 \, ^\circ C \) - Coefficient of linear expansion of glass, \( \alpha_{\text{glass}} = 2.000 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{K}^{-1} \) - Coefficient of volume expansion of liquid, \( \beta_{\text{liquid}} = 4.000 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{K}^{-1} \) 2. **Calculate the Change in Temperature:** \[ \Delta T = T_f - T_i = 30.000 - 20.000 = 10.000 \, ^\circ C \] 3. **Calculate the Initial Height of the Liquid Column:** Since the tube is half-filled with liquid: \[ L_i = \frac{L}{2} = \frac{1.280}{2} = 0.640 \, \text{m} \] 4. **Calculate the Change in Length of the Liquid Column:** The change in volume of the liquid due to temperature change can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta L_{\text{liquid}} = L_i \cdot \beta_{\text{liquid}} \cdot \Delta T \] Substituting the values: \[ \Delta L_{\text{liquid}} = 0.640 \cdot (4.000 \times 10^{-5}) \cdot 10 = 0.640 \cdot 4.000 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000256 \, \text{m} \] 5. **Calculate the Change in Length of the Glass Tube:** The change in length of the glass tube can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta L_{\text{glass}} = L \cdot \alpha_{\text{glass}} \cdot \Delta T \] Substituting the values: \[ \Delta L_{\text{glass}} = 1.280 \cdot (2.000 \times 10^{-5}) \cdot 10 = 1.280 \cdot 2.000 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000256 \, \text{m} \] 6. **Calculate the Final Height of the Liquid Column:** The final height of the liquid column \( L_f \) can be calculated as: \[ L_f = L_i + \Delta L_{\text{liquid}} - \Delta L_{\text{glass}} \] Substituting the values: \[ L_f = 0.640 + 0.000256 - 0.000256 = 0.640 \, \text{m} \] 7. **Calculate the Change in Height of the Liquid Column:** The change in height of the liquid column is: \[ \Delta h = L_f - L_i = 0.640 - 0.640 = 0.000 \, \text{m} \] ### Final Result: The height of the liquid column does not change when the tube and liquid are heated from 20°C to 30°C. Therefore, the change in height of the liquid column is: \[ \Delta h = 0.000 \, \text{m} \]
