Q.

A metal block floats in mercury at 0°C with k1 fraction of its total volume submerged. When temperature is raised to 60°C, a fraction k2 of total volume is found submerged. If the coefficient of volumetric expansion of metal is γ1 and coefficient of volumetric expansion of mercury is γ2, then ratio of k1k2 is

Detailed Solution

For equilibrium in case (1) at 0°C upthrust =weight of body Vind2g=V  d1  g

VinV=d1d2=K1(1)

For equilibrium in case (2) at 60°C, when the temperature is increased, the density will decreases d11=d1/(1+γ160)d21=d2/(1+γ260)

Again upthrust = weight of the body 

Vin'd2'g=V'd1'g

K2=V11nV1=d11d21=d11+γ160×1+γ260d2=d1d21+γ2601+γ160

K1K2=d1d2×d2d1(1+γ1601+γ260)=1+γ1601+γ260
