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)

  • A 0.52cm3
  • B 1.42cm3
  • C 1.87cm3
  • D 5.22cm3
  • E 14.22cm3

The correct answer is B. 1.42cm3
