Assuming no subsequent heat loss by the balls,which of the following statements is correct about their final temperatures,$T_A$ and $T_B$,once the balls have reached their final state?

  • A
    $T_A < T_B$
  • B
    $T_A > T_B$
  • C
    $T_A = T_B$
  • D
    $T_A \leq T_B$

Consider two thermometers $T_1$ and $T_2$ of equal length,which can be used to measure temperature over the range $\theta_1$ to $\theta_2$. $T_1$ contains mercury as the thermometric liquid,while $T_2$ contains bromine. The volumes of the two liquids are the same at the temperature $\theta_1$. The volumetric coefficients of expansion of mercury and bromine are $18 \times 10^{-5} \, K^{-1}$ and $108 \times 10^{-5} \, K^{-1}$,respectively. The increase in length of each liquid is the same for the same increase in temperature. If the diameters of the capillary tubes of the two thermometers are $d_1$ and $d_2$,respectively,then the ratio $d_1: d_2$ is closest to:
