What is the change in length of a 15.748cm long column of mercury if its temperature changes from 14.7°C to 64.7°C, assuming the mercury is constrained to a cylinder but unconstrained in length (in cm)? Assume the dimensions of the cylinder do not change. The coefficient of volume expansion for mercury is 1.8x10-4°C-1
