Problem

A piece of metal floats on mercury. The coefficients of volume expansion of the metal and mercury are γ1\gamma_1 and γ2\gamma_2 respectively. If the temperatures of both mercury and the metal are increased by an amount ΔT\Delta T , the fraction of the volume of the metal submerged in mercury changes by the factor .....
