A glass vessel measures exactly 10cm xx ...

A glass vessel measures exactly 10cm xx 10 cm xx 10 cm at `0^@C`. It is filled completely with mercury at this temperature. When the temperature is raised to `10^@C`, `1.6cm^3` of mercury overflows. Calculate the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury. coefficient of linear expansion of glass `= 6.5 xx 10^(-6)C^(-1)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`DeltaV=V_(Hg)-V_V`
`1.6=10^3(gamma_Lxx10-10^3xx3xx6.5xx10^-6xx10)`
`gamma_L=(1.6+0.195)xx10^-4=1.795xx10^(-4)//^(@)C`
