‘Stem Correction’ in platinum resistance thermometers are eliminated by the use of

A pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0\ ^oC$. The thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the  material of the pendulum is $\alpha$. If the temperature rises to $t\ ^oC$, then the clock loses per day by (in second)

On heating a liquid of coefficient of cubical expansion $\gamma $ in a container having coefficient of linear expansion $\gamma /3,$ the level of liquid in the container will

A steel tape measures the length of a copper rod as $90\, cm$ when both are at $10\,^oC$. ........ $cm$ would the tape read for the length of rod when both are at $30\,^oC$ ? $[\alpha _{st} = 1.2\times10^{-5}/^oC$ and $\alpha _{cu} = 1.7\times10^{-5}/^oC]$

Two thermometers $X$ and $Y$ have ice points marked at $15^o$ and $25^o$ and steam points marked as $75^o$ and $125^o$ respectively. When thermometer $X$ measures the temperature of a bath as $60^o$ on it, ..... $^oC$ would thermometer $Y$ read when it is used to measure the temperature of the same bath ?

Mercury is of ten used in clinical thermometers. Which one of the following properties of mercury is not a reason for this?
