Two identical glass spheres filled with air are connected by a horizontal glass tube. The glass tube contains a pellet of mercury at its mid-point. Air in one sphere is at 0°C and the other is at 20°C. If both the vessels are heated through 10°C, then neglecting the expansions of the bulbs and the tube.
the mercury pellet gets displaced towards the sphere at a lower temperature.
The mercury pellet gets displaced towards the sphere at a higher temperature
The mercury pellet does not get displaced at all.
the temperature rise causes the pellet to expand with any displacement.
Mercury boils at 367° C. However, mercury thermometers are made such that they can measure temperature upto 500°C. This is done by
maintaining vacuum above mercury column in the stem of the thermometer.
filling nitrogen gas at high pressure above the mercury column.
filling oxygen gas at a high pressure above mercury column.
filling nitrogen gas at a low pressure above the mercury column.
Water rises in a capillary upto a extension height such that upward force of surface tension balances the force of 75 x 10-4 N due to weight of water. If surface tension of water is 6x10-2 N/m.The internal circumference of the capillary must be
