The temperature of glass vessel containing 100cm3 of mercury is raised from 10oC to 100oC….

Physics WAEC 1995

The temperature of glass vessel containing 100cm3 of mercury is raised from 10oC to 100oC. Calculate the apparent cubic expansion of the mercury. (Real cubic expansivity of mercury = 1.82 x 10-4K-1) (Cubic expansivity of glass = 2.4 x 10-5K-1)
