The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the new height of the liquid in a cylindrical vessel after both the fluid and the vessel are heated by a temperature change of \(\Delta \theta\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initial Parameters**: - Let the initial height of the fluid be \( h_0 \). - The volume expansion coefficient of the fluid is \( \gamma \). - The linear expansion coefficient of the vessel material is \( \alpha \). 2. **Volume Expansion of the Fluid**: - The initial volume \( V_0 \) of the fluid can be expressed as: \[ V_0 = A_0 h_0 \] where \( A_0 \) is the initial cross-sectional area of the cylindrical vessel. - When the temperature increases by \( \Delta \theta \), the new volume \( V' \) of the fluid becomes: \[ V' = V_0 (1 + \gamma \Delta \theta) = A_0 h_0 (1 + \gamma \Delta \theta) \] 3. **Area Expansion of the Vessel**: - The area of the vessel expands due to the temperature change. The new area \( A' \) can be calculated using the linear expansion coefficient: \[ A' = A_0 (1 + 2\alpha \Delta \theta) \] (Note: The area expansion coefficient is twice the linear expansion coefficient). 4. **Finding the New Height**: - The new height \( h' \) of the fluid can be found using the relationship between volume and area: \[ V' = A' h' \] - Substituting the expressions for \( V' \) and \( A' \): \[ A_0 h_0 (1 + \gamma \Delta \theta) = A_0 (1 + 2\alpha \Delta \theta) h' \] - Dividing both sides by \( A_0 \) (assuming \( A_0 \neq 0 \)): \[ h_0 (1 + \gamma \Delta \theta) = (1 + 2\alpha \Delta \theta) h' \] - Rearranging for \( h' \): \[ h' = \frac{h_0 (1 + \gamma \Delta \theta)}{1 + 2\alpha \Delta \theta} \] 5. **Final Expression**: - Thus, the final height of the liquid after the temperature increase is: \[ h' = h_0 \frac{1 + \gamma \Delta \theta}{1 + 2\alpha \Delta \theta} \]
