Loss of weight at $$27$$"C is          $$=46$$−$$30=16=V1$$×$$1.24$$ρl×g …………..(i)Loss$$ of weight at $$42$$"C is          $$=46$$−$$30.5=15.5=V2$$×$$1.2$$ρl×g ………..$$(ii)Now$$ dividing $$(i) by (ii), we get $$1615.5=V1V2$$×$$1.241.2But$$ $$V1V2=1+3$$α$$t2$$−$$t1=15.5$$×$$1.2416$$×$$1.2=1.001042$$⇒ $$3$$α$$42$$∘−$$27$$∘$$=0.001042$$⇒α$$=2.316$$×$$10$$−$$5/$$∘C

Apiece of metal weight 46 gm in air, when it is immersed in the liquid of specific gravity 1.24 at 27^oC it weighs 30 gm. When the temperature of liquid is raised to 42^oC the metal piece weight 30.5 gm, specific gravity of the liquid at 42^oC is 1.20, then the linear expansion of the metal will be
