Question
The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid in a copper vessel is C and in silver vessel is S. The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is A. Find the coefficient of linear expansion of silver.
Solution
Let γ be the coefficient of volume of expansion of liquid and B be the coefficient of linear expansion of silver.
Therefore, the coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid in a copper vessel is C, given by
