    Water is not considered suitable for use in thermometers. Give the reason for the same.

    A mercury in glass thermometer has a stem of internal diameter 0.06 cm and contains 43 g of mercury. The mercury thread expands by 10 cm when the temperature changes from 0^@C to 50^@C . Find the coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury. Relative density of mercury =13.6 and alpha_("glass")=9xx10^(-6)//K .

    Statement- 1 : Water is considered unsuitable for use in thermometers. Statement- 2 : Thermal Expansion of water is non uniform.
