The height of a mercury column measured ...

The height of a mercury column measured with a brass scale, which is correct and equal to `H_0` at `0^@C`, is `H_1` at `t^@C`? The coefficient of linear expansion of brass is `alpha` and the coefficient of linear expansion of brass is `alpha` and the corfficient of volume expansion of mercury is `gamma`. Relate `H_0` and `H_1`.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to relate the height of the mercury column at two different temperatures, \( H_0 \) at \( 0^\circ C \) and \( H_1 \) at \( t^\circ C \), considering the thermal expansions of both the brass scale and the mercury. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Expansion of Brass and Mercury**: - The height \( H_0 \) is measured with a brass scale at \( 0^\circ C \). - At a temperature \( t^\circ C \), the brass scale expands due to thermal expansion. - The linear expansion of brass is given by: ...
