A horizontal tube, open at both ends, contains a column of liquid. The length of this liquid column does not change with temperature. Let gamma : coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid and alpha : coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the tube

In a cylidrical glass container a solid silica is placed vertically at its bottom and remaining space is filled with mercury upto the top level of the silica. The volume of silica remains unchanged with variation in temperature. The coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is gamma and coefficient of linear expansion of glass is alpha . If the top surface of silica and mercury level remain at the same level wiht the variation in temperature then the ratio of volume of silica tothe volume of mercury is equal:
