The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $132 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$ and in a steel vessel is $114 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$,then that of glass is:

  • A
    $9 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $6 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$
  • C
    $36 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$
  • D
    $27 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$

$A$ glass flask of volume $1 \ L$ is filled completely with mercury at $0^{\circ} C$. The flask is now heated to $100^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is $1.82 \times 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and the coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $0.1 \times 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} C$. During this process, the amount of mercury which overflows is (in $cc$)
