Question

Physics

A measuring cylinder made of glass has a volume of 200 mL whenmeasured at 20°C. Mercury, also at 20°C, is added to the measuringcylinder until the mercury level reads 197 mL on the measuringcylinder scale. The mercury and glass are then warmed until themercury level reads 200 mL on the measuring cylinder scale. Takingthe coefficients of volume expansion of glass to be 2.0 ×10-5 K-1 and for mercury to be 18 ×10-5 K-1, what is the final temperature?
