The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the loss of weight of a solid when immersed in a liquid at two different temperatures, given the cubical coefficients of expansion for both the solid and the liquid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Loss of Weight**: The loss of weight of a solid when immersed in a liquid is equal to the buoyant force acting on it. This buoyant force depends on the density of the liquid and the volume of the solid. 2. **Initial Conditions**: At `0°C`, the loss of weight is given as `W₀`. At a temperature of `t°C`, we denote the loss of weight as `W`. 3. **Buoyant Force Expression**: The buoyant force can be expressed as: \[ F_b = \rho_{liquid} \cdot V_{solid} \cdot g \] where \( \rho_{liquid} \) is the density of the liquid, \( V_{solid} \) is the volume of the solid, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 4. **Density Changes with Temperature**: The density of the liquid changes with temperature according to its cubical coefficient of expansion \( \gamma_{l} \): \[ \rho_{liquid}(t) = \frac{\rho_{liquid}(0)}{1 + \gamma_{l} \cdot t} \] where \( \rho_{liquid}(0) \) is the density of the liquid at `0°C`. 5. **Volume Changes with Temperature**: The volume of the solid also changes with temperature according to its cubical coefficient of expansion \( \gamma_{s} \): \[ V_{solid}(t) = V_{solid}(0) \cdot (1 + \gamma_{s} \cdot t) \] where \( V_{solid}(0) \) is the volume of the solid at `0°C`. 6. **Expressing W in Terms of W₀**: At `0°C`, the loss of weight is: \[ W₀ = \rho_{liquid}(0) \cdot V_{solid}(0) \cdot g \] At `t°C`, the loss of weight is: \[ W = \rho_{liquid}(t) \cdot V_{solid}(t) \cdot g \] Substituting the expressions for \( \rho_{liquid}(t) \) and \( V_{solid}(t) \): \[ W = \left(\frac{\rho_{liquid}(0)}{1 + \gamma_{l} \cdot t}\right) \cdot \left(V_{solid}(0) \cdot (1 + \gamma_{s} \cdot t)\right) \cdot g \] 7. **Relating W to W₀**: By substituting \( W₀ \) into the equation: \[ W = W₀ \cdot \frac{(1 + \gamma_{s} \cdot t)}{(1 + \gamma_{l} \cdot t)} \] For small values of \( \gamma_{s} \cdot t \) and \( \gamma_{l} \cdot t \), we can use the approximation: \[ \frac{1 + \gamma_{s} \cdot t}{1 + \gamma_{l} \cdot t} \approx 1 + (\gamma_{s} - \gamma_{l}) \cdot t \] Therefore, we can express \( W \) as: \[ W \approx W₀ \cdot (1 + (\gamma_{s} - \gamma_{l}) \cdot t) \] ### Final Expression: Thus, the final expression for the loss of weight at temperature `t°C` is: \[ W = W₀ \cdot (1 + (\gamma_{s} - \gamma_{l}) \cdot t) \]
