Question

A vessel is partly filled with liquid. When the vessel is cooled to a lower temperature, the space in the vessel,unoccupied by the liquid remains constant. Then the volume of the liquid ($V_L$), the volume of the vessel ($V_V$), the coefficients of cubical expansion of the material of the vessel (${\gamma }_V$) and of the liquid (${\gamma }_L$) are related as?

• A. ${\gamma }_L$ > ${\gamma }_V$
• B. ${\gamma }_L$ < ${\gamma }_V$
• C. ${\gamma }_V$ / ${\gamma }_L$ = $V_V/V_L$
• D. ${\gamma }_V$ / ${\gamma }_L$ = $V_L/V_V$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A ${\gamma }_L$ > ${\gamma }_V$
D ${\gamma }_V$ / ${\gamma }_L$ = $V_L/V_V$
