Physics · Thermal Properties of Matter
A bakelite beaker has a volume capacity of 500 cc at 30°C. When it is partially filled with a volume Vm (at 30°C) of mercury, it is found that the unfilled volume of the beaker remains constant as the temperature is varied. If the coefficient of volume expansion of bakelite is γbeaker = 6 × 10-6 °C-1 and for mercury is γmercury = 1.8 × 10-4 °C-1, then Vm (in cc) is:
- 150 cc
- 233.33 cc
- 316.67 cc✓
- 425 cc
Correct answer
16.67 cc
