A sinker of weight `w_0` has an apparent weight `w_1` when weighed in a liquid at a temperature `t_1 and w_2` when weight in the same liquid at temperature `t_2`. The coefficient of cubical expansion of the material of sinker is `beta`. What is the coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Apparent Weight The apparent weight of the sinker in the liquid is given by: \[ W_1 = W_0 - F_{b1} \] \[ W_2 = W_0 - F_{b2} \] where \( F_{b1} \) and \( F_{b2} \) are the buoyant forces at temperatures \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) respectively. ...
