The coefficient of linear expansion of glass is αg/∘C and cubical expansion of mercury is γm/∘C. The volume of the bulb of mercury thermometer at 0°C is V0 and cross section of the capillary is Ao. What is the length of mercury column in capillary at T∘C, if the mercury just fills the bulb at O°C ?

An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

$\frac{V_{0} T (γ_{m} + 2 α_{g})}{A_{0} (1 + 3 α_{g} T)}$

$\frac{V_{0} T (γ_{m} - 3 α_{g})}{A_{0} (1 + 2 α_{g} T)}$

$\frac{V_{0} T (γ_{m} - 2 α_{g})}{A_{0} (1 + 3 α_{g} T)}$

$\frac{V_{0} T (γ_{m} + 3 α_{g})}{A_{0} (1 + 2 α_{g} T)}$

Detailed Solution

Expansion of mercury $= V_{0} γ_{m} T$
Expansion in glass bulb $= V_{0} (3 α_{g}) T$
Apparent expansion in mercury, $= V_{0} γ_{m} T - (V_{0} 3 α_{g} T)$
$∴ Δl = \frac{V_{0} γ_{m} T - (V_{0} 3 α_{g} T)}{A_{0} (1 + 2 α_{g} T)}$
Length of mercury column in capillary is
$h = Δl = \frac{V_{0} T}{A_{0}} \frac{(γ_{m} - 3 α_{g})}{(1 + 2 α_{g} T)}$
