Question

If V is the volume of the vessel and VL  is volume of liquid to be taken for the free space volume to be constant at all temperatures then

Moderate
Solution

change in volume of glass = change in volume of liquid ΔVg=ΔVL---(1) in terms of coefficient of volume expansion of glass γg and   coefficient of real expansion of liquid γR ; Δt change in temperature ; from γ=ΔVVΔt we get, from eqn(1) VγgΔt=VLγRΔt Vγg=VLγR
