Questions  

A vessel is partly filled with a liquid. coefficients of cubical expansion of material of the vessel and liquid are γV and γL, respectively. If the system is heated, then volume unoccupied by the liquid will necessarily

a
remain unchanged if γV=γL
b
increase if γV=γL
c
decrease if γV=γL
d
none of the above

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Since the vessel is partly filled, volume of the vessel is greater than that of the liquid. When a body having volume V is heated through ∆θ,then increase in its volume is given by     ΔV=V⋅γ⋅ΔθSince, γV=γL, therefore ΔV∝V. Hence, on heating expansion of vessel will be greater than that of liquid. It means unoccupied volume will necessarily increase. So, option (b) is correct.
