Chapter 19, Problem 19.7OQ
What would happen if the glass of a thermometer expanded more on warming than did the liquid in the tube? (a) The thermometer would break, (b) It could be used only for temperatures below room temperature. (c) You would have to hold it with the bulb on top. (d) The scale on the thermometer is reversed so that higher temperature values would be found closer to the bulb, (e) The numbers would not be evenly spaced.

Suppose that a Celsius thermometer was created with alcohol (instead of mercury) as the liquid.
a) Would the alcohol and mercury thermometers read exactly the same at every temperature being measured? Assuming that both thermometers are small in comparison with the objects whose temperatures are being measured.
b)What does the answer in a) imply about measurements of temperature?
A pond in winter has a layer of ice 5cm thick. The temperature of the air above the ice is -10C and the temperature of the water directly below the ice is 0C.
(i) Find out how much heat passes by conduction through a square meter of ice each second (thermal conductivity of ice = k_ice = 2.2 W/m C)
(ii) How would the amount of heat transfer differ if the ice were 7.5 cm thick instead of 5 cm thick? (how many times as much or as less)
A stone floor feels very cold to bare feet in the winter but a carpet in the same room feels comfortably warm. Why?
