Effect of In Example 3.1-1,215 kg of mercury was found to occupy 0.560 ft at 20°C. (1) What volume would
the mercury occupy at 100°C? (2) Suppose the mercury is contained in a cylinder having a diameter
of 0.25 in. What change in height would be observed as the mercury is heated from 20°C to 100°C?
1. From Equation 3.1-3
V(108 C) = 7,[1 +0.18182 X 10" (100) + 0.0078 X 10"(100)?)
and
V(20°C) = 0,560 ft' = V«[1 + 0.18182 X 10 (20) + 0.0078 X 10 (20) ]
mauation and substituting it into the first yields
