Igcse Model Questions Vol1 2017 Physics Question 15
Practice objective / multiple choice question 15 from the 2017 Igcse Model Questions Vol1 Physics examination.
A mercury thermometer has a bulb volume of \(0.5\ \text{cm}^{3}\) and a capillary of cross‑sectional area \(0.02\ \text{mm}^{2}\). The coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is \(\beta = 1.8\times10^{-4}\ \text{°C}^{-1}\). When the temperature is increased from \(0\ ^\circ\text{C}\), the mercury column rises \(12.0\ \text{cm}\) in the capillary. Assuming the bulb volume does not change shape, calculate the temperature (in \(^\circ\text{C}\)) of the liquid.
