The loss of weight of a solid when immer...

The loss of weight of a solid when immersed in a liquid at `0^(@)C" is "W_(0)`. If `alphaandbeta` are the volume coefficients of expansion of the solid and the liquid respectively, then the loss of weight at `t^(@)C` is approximately

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Loss of wt at `0^(@)C=V_(0)rho_(0)g=w_(0)`
`V_(0)` = volume of body at `0^(@)C`
`V_(1)` = volume of body at `t_(1)^(0)C=V_(1)rho_(1)g=w_(1)`
`w_(1)/w_(0)=(V_(1)rho_(1))/(V_(0)rho_(0))=d_(0)/d_(1)xxrho_(1)/rho_(0)` where `d_(0)` is density of solid at `0^(@)Candrho_(0)` is density of liquid at `0^(@)C`.
