Two identical beakers with negligible thermal expansion are filled with water to the same level at `4^(@)C`. If one says `A` is heated while the other says `B` is colled, then:

A

water level in `A` must rise

B

water level in `B` must rise

C

water level in `A` must fall

D

water level in `B` must fall

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the behavior of water in two identical beakers when one is heated and the other is cooled. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Initial Conditions**: - We have two identical beakers, A and B, filled with water at the same level at a temperature of \(4^\circ C\). 2. **Heating Beaker A**: - When beaker A is heated, the temperature of the water in A increases. As the temperature of water increases, its density decreases. 3. **Effect of Heating on Volume**: - The relationship between density (\(\rho\)), mass (m), and volume (V) is given by the formula: \[ \rho = \frac{m}{V} \] - Since the mass of water remains constant, a decrease in density implies an increase in volume. Therefore, when beaker A is heated, the volume of water in A increases. 4. **Cooling Beaker B**: - Simultaneously, when beaker B is cooled, the temperature of the water in B decreases. As the temperature drops below \(4^\circ C\), the density of water also decreases. 5. **Effect of Cooling on Volume**: - Similar to the heating scenario, the decrease in density due to cooling means that the volume of water in beaker B also increases. 6. **Conclusion on Water Levels**: - Since both beakers A and B experience an increase in volume due to the changes in temperature, the water level in both beakers will rise. ### Final Answer: - The water level in beaker A must rise. - The water level in beaker B must also rise.
