Chapter 1, Problem 90E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The density of the mercury at two stated temperature is given. The rise of mercury of given mass in the capillary of given diameter on changing the temperature from $0.0°\text{C}$ to $25°\text{C}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The volume is calculated by the formula,
  $\text{Volume}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}$

The conversion of millimeter to centimeter is done as,
  $\text{1}\text{mm}=0.1\text{cm}$

The volume of cylinder is calculated as,

  $\text{Volume}=\pi {\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)}^{2}h$

To determine: The height of mercury in the thermometer on changing the temperature from $0.0°\text{C}$ to $25°\text{C}$ .
