Chapter 17, Problem 35P

(a)

To determine

The graph of length versus temperature for mercury.

Given:

The length of column of mercury in the thermometer is 4cm .

The pressure of water is 1atm

The length of column of mercury in the thermometer is 4cm .

The thermometer in the boiling water is 24cm .

Introduction:

Explanation:

The graph of length of the mercury column versus temperature is:

  EBK PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEER, Chapter 17, Problem 35P

The equation for the graph is:

  L=mT+C

Here, L is the length in cm , T is the temperature in Celsius and C is the intercept.

Substitute 0.200cm/°C for m and 4.0cm for C in equation (1).

  L=(0.200cm/°C)T+4.0cm

Conclusion:

(b)

To determine

The length of the column when the temperature is 22.0°C .

(b)

To determine

The temperature when the length of the mercury column is 25.4cm .
