medium

A flask of volume $10^3 cc$ is completely filled with mercury at $0 ^oC$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is $180 × 10^{-6} / ^oC$ and that of glass is $40 × 10^{-6}/ ^oC$. If the flask is now placed in boiling water at $100\ ^oC$, ........ $cc$ mercury will overflow 

A

$7$

B

$14$

C

$21$

D

$28$

Solution

Increse in volume of flask

$=40 \times 10^{-6} \times 10^{3} \times 10^{2}=4$

Increase in volume of mercury

$=180 \times 10^{-6} \times 10^{3} \times 10^{2}=18$

Volume of mercury overflow

$=18-4=14 c c$
