The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the principles of buoyancy and the concept of thermal expansion. The loss of weight of a solid when immersed in a liquid can be determined by considering the change in volume and density of both the solid and the liquid due to temperature changes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Conditions**: - Let the loss of weight of the solid when immersed in the liquid at \(0^\circ C\) be \(W_0\). - Let the loss of weight of the solid when immersed in the liquid at \(t^\circ C\) be \(W\). - The cubical coefficient of expansion for the solid is \(\gamma_s\) and for the liquid is \(\gamma_l\). 2. **Applying Archimedes' Principle**: - According to Archimedes' principle, the loss of weight \(W\) is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the solid. - This can be expressed as: \[ W = V_t \cdot \rho_l \cdot g \] where \(V_t\) is the volume of the solid at temperature \(t\), \(\rho_l\) is the density of the liquid at temperature \(t\), and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity. 3. **Volume and Density Changes**: - The volume of the solid at temperature \(t\) can be expressed as: \[ V_t = V_0 (1 + \gamma_s \cdot t) \] where \(V_0\) is the original volume of the solid at \(0^\circ C\). - The density of the liquid at temperature \(t\) can be expressed as: \[ \rho_l = \frac{\rho_0}{1 + \gamma_l \cdot t} \] where \(\rho_0\) is the original density of the liquid at \(0^\circ C\). 4. **Substituting Values**: - Substitute \(V_t\) and \(\rho_l\) into the equation for \(W\): \[ W = V_0 (1 + \gamma_s \cdot t) \cdot \left(\frac{\rho_0}{1 + \gamma_l \cdot t}\right) \cdot g \] 5. **Expressing \(W_0\)**: - At \(0^\circ C\), the loss of weight \(W_0\) can be expressed as: \[ W_0 = V_0 \cdot \rho_0 \cdot g \] 6. **Finding the Ratio \(\frac{W}{W_0}\)**: - Now, we can find the ratio \(\frac{W}{W_0}\): \[ \frac{W}{W_0} = \frac{V_0 (1 + \gamma_s \cdot t) \cdot \left(\frac{\rho_0}{1 + \gamma_l \cdot t}\right) \cdot g}{V_0 \cdot \rho_0 \cdot g} \] - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{W}{W_0} = \frac{(1 + \gamma_s \cdot t)}{(1 + \gamma_l \cdot t)} \] 7. **Final Expression for \(W\)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ W = W_0 \cdot \frac{(1 + \gamma_s \cdot t)}{(1 + \gamma_l \cdot t)} \] - This can be further simplified to: \[ W = W_0 \cdot \left(1 + \gamma_s \cdot t - \gamma_l \cdot t\right) \] ### Final Result: \[ W = W_0 \cdot \left(1 + (\gamma_s - \gamma_l) \cdot t\right) \]
