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`.

To find the coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the increase in volume of mercury The increase in volume (ΔV) can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder: \[ \Delta V = A \cdot h \] where \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the stem and \( h \) is the height the mercury expands. ...
