Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 409

Question: In a vertical U-tube containing a liquid, the two arms are maintained at different temperatures t1 and t2 . The liquid columns in the two arms have heights l2 respectively. The coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid is equal to

Options:

A) l1l2l2t1l1t2

B) l1l2l1t1l1t1

C) l1l2l2t1l1t2

D) l1l2l1t1l1t1

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Suppose, height of liquid in each arm before With temperature rise height of liquid in each With the temperature rise height of liquid in each arm increases i.e l1>l and l2>l Also l=l11+γt1=l21+γt2

l1+γl2t2=l2+γl2t1γ=l1l2l2t1l1t2
