A liquid with a coefficient of volume expansion just fills a spherical shell of volume V (Fig. P16.53). The shell and the open capillary of area A projecting from the top of the sphere are made of a material with an average coefficient of linear expansion . The liquid is free to expand into the capillary. Assuming the temperature increases by T, find the distance h the liquid rises in the capillary.
Mercury is poured into a U-tube as shown in Figure P15.17a. The left arm of the tube has cross-sectional area A1 of 10.0 cm2, and the right arm has a cross-sectional area A2 of 5.00 cm2.

The spirit-in-glass thermometer, invented in Florence, Italy, around 1054, consists of a tube of liquid (the spirit) containing a number of submerged glass spheres with slightly different masses (Fig. P15.70). At sufficiently low temperatures, all the spheres float, but as the temperature rises, the spheres sink one after another. The device is a crude but interesting tool for measuring temperature.

(b) When the temperature increases to 30.0C, what mass must a second sphere of the same radius have to be in equilibrium at the halfway point? (c) At 30.0C, the first sphere has fallen to the bottom of the tube. What upward force does the bottom of the tube exert on this sphere?
The diffusion constant for the amino acid glycine in water is 1.06 × 10-9 m2/s. In a 2.0-cm-long tube with a cross-sectional area of 1.3 × 10-4m2, the mass rate of diffusion is m/t = 4.2 × 10-14 kg/s, because the glycine concentration is maintained at a value of 9.1 × 10-3 kg/m3 at one end of the tube and at a lower value at the other end.
