The loss in weight of a solid when immersed in a liquid at $0^o C$ is $W_0$ and at $t^o C$ is $W$. If cubical coefficient of expansion of the solid and the liquid by $\gamma_s$ and $\gamma_l$ respectively, then $W$ is equal to :

  • A

    $W_0 [1 + ( \gamma _s -\gamma _l) t]$

  • B

    $W_0 [1 - (\gamma_s -\gamma_l)t]$

  • C

    $W_0 [(\gamma_s -\gamma_l) t]$

  • D

    $W_0t/(\gamma_s -\gamma_l)$
