A liquid with a coefcient of volume expansion of just lls
Chapter 10, Problem 10.51(choose chapter or problem)
A liquid with a coefcient of volume expansion of just lls a spherical ask of volume V0 at temperature T (Fig. P10.51). The ask is made of a material that has a coefcient of linear expansion of . The liquid is free to expand into a capillary of cross-sectional area A at the top. (a) Show that if the temperature increases by T, the liquid rises in the capillary by the amount h (V0/A)( 3 )T. (b) For a typical system, such as a mercury thermometer, why is it a good approximation to neglect the expansion of the ask?
