Detailed Solution

Let A0 and At be the areas of cross-section of the tube at temperatures 0 and t respectively,

l= length of the liquid column (constant)

V0 andVt be the volumes of the liquid at temperatures 0 and t respectively,

V0=lA0         Vt=lAt         

Vt=V0(1+γt)         At=A0(1+2αt)

Vt=lA0(1+2αt)=V0(1+γt)=lA0(1+γt)or γ=2α.
