When a liquid is heated in a copper vessel, its coefficient of apparent expansion is $6 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$. When the same liquid is heated in a steel vessel, its coefficient of apparent expansion is $24 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$. If the coefficient of linear expansion for copper is $18 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$, find the coefficient of linear expansion for steel.

    $20 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $24 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • C

  • D
    $12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$

$A$ 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 $cc$)
