Detailed Solution

The main objective of providing a kink in the clinical thermometer is that the kink prevents mercury from falling on its own.
The clinical thermometer consists of a kink that prevents the mercury level from falling. In a clinical thermometer, the kink is the most important part of the thermometer as it prevents the sudden falling of the mercury present in the capillary tube to the bulb so that the temperature can be read before falling the mercury in the bulb.
