$A$ piece of metal weighs $46 \, g$ in air. When it is immersed in a liquid of specific gravity $1.24$ at $27^{\circ}C$,it weighs $30 \, g$. When the temperature of the liquid is raised to $42^{\circ}C$,the metal piece weighs $30.5 \, g$ and the specific gravity of the liquid at $42^{\circ}C$ is $1.20$. Calculate the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal.

  • A
    $3.316 \times 10^{-5} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$
  • B
    $2.316 \times 10^{-5} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$
  • C
    $4.316 \times 10^{-5} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$
  • D
    None of these

The vertical limbs of a $U$ shaped tube are filled with a liquid of density $\rho$ up to a height $h$ on each side. The horizontal portion of the $U$ tube having length $2h$ contains a liquid of density $2\rho$. The $U$ tube is moved horizontally with an acceleration $g/2$ parallel to the horizontal arm. The difference in heights in liquid levels in the two vertical limbs,at steady state,will be:
