The apparatus shown in figure consists of four glass columns connected by horizontal sections.The heights of two central columns B and C are 49 cm each. The two outer column A and D are open to atmosphere. A and C are maintained a a temperature of 95 degree C, while column B and D are maintained at 5 degree C. The heights of liquid in A and D measured from base line are 52.8 cm and 51 cm respectively. Determine the coefficient of thermal expansion of the liquid.

Expert Answer:
As the liquid columns in the glass tubes are in equilibrium:
Pressure diffference between the columns A and B = Pressure difference between the columns C and D
