A container whose capacity is 70 \(ml\) is filled with a liquid up to 50 \(ml\). Then, the liquid in the container is heated. Initially, the level of the liquid falls from 50 \(ml\) to 48.5 \(ml\). Then we heat more, the level of the liquid rises to 51.2 \(ml\)
Find the apparent and real expansion.
From the given data,
Level of the liquid (\(L1\)) \(=\) 50 \(ml\)
Level of the liquid (\(L2\)) \(=\) 48.5 \(ml\)
Level of the liquid (\(L3\)) \(=\) 51.2 \(ml\)
The formula to calculate Apparent expansion and Real expansion,
Apparent expansion \(=\)
Real expansion \(=\)
Substitute the values of \(L1\), \(L2\) and \(L3\) in above formulas,
Apparent Expansion: \(ml\)
Real Expansion: \(ml\)
