Problem

A glass beaker holds exactly 1 L at 0°C (a) What is its volume at 50°C? (b) If the beaker is filled with mercury at 0°C, what volume of mercury overflows when the temperature is 50°C? αg=8.3×10−6\alpha_g = 8.3 \times 10^{-6} per °C and γHg=1.82×10−4\gamma_{\text{Hg}} = 1.82 \times 10^{-4} per °C.
