Chapter 13 Problem 21

Question

21. (Ill) (a) Hie lube of a mercury thermometer has an inside diameter of 0.140 mm. The bulb has a volume of 0.255 cm3. Howr far will the thread of mercury move when the temperature changes from 11.5C to 33.0C? lake into account expansion of the Pyrex glass. (/>) Determine a formula for the change in length of the mercury column in terms of relevant variables. Ignore tube volume compared to bulb volume.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 13 problem number 21 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 21. (Ill) (a) Hie lube of a mercury thermometer has an inside diameter of 0.140 mm. The bulb has a volume of 0.255 cm3. Howr far will the thread of mercury move when the temperature changes from 11.5C to 33.0C? lake into account expansion of the Pyrex glass. (/>) Determine a formula for the change in length of the mercury column in terms of relevant variables. Ignore tube volume compared to bulb volume.
From the textbook chapter Temperature and Kinetic Theory you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
