To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the volume of mercury that should be poured into a glass vessel so that the volume of the remaining space does not change with temperature. ### Step 1: Understand the problem We have a glass vessel with a volume of 1000 cc at 20°C. We need to find the volume of mercury (let's denote it as \( A \)) that can be poured into this vessel such that the volume of the remaining space does not change with temperature. ### Step 2: Identify the coefficients of cubical expansion The coefficients of cubical expansion given in the problem are: - For mercury, \( \gamma_m = 1.8 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{°C}^{-1} \) ...
