The upthrust exerted on a steel ball which is immersed in paraffin of temperature 20 °C is 0.2145 N, and 0.200 N when the temperature of the paraffin is 100 °C:. Based on this measurement, find the volumetric thermal expansion cocfficient of paraffin if the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of steel is 1.2 10- 1/°C.
