In an experiment to find the liquid expansion coefficient $(\gamma)$,a column of experimental liquid at $T\,^oC$ is balanced against another column of experimental liquid at $0\,^oC$ by taking them in a $U$-tube. The expansion coefficient $(\gamma)$ is?

  • A
    $\frac{h_T}{ (h_T - h_0)T }$
  • B
    $\frac{h_0}{ (h_T - h_0)T }$
  • C
    $\frac{ (h_T - h_0) }{ h_0 T }$
  • D
    $\frac{ h_T - h_0 }{ h_T T }$

Two vertical glass tubes filled with a liquid are connected by a capillary tube as shown in the figure. The tube on the left is put in an ice bath at $0^{\circ}C$ while the tube on the right is kept at $30^{\circ}C$ in a water bath. The difference in the levels of the liquid in the two tubes is $4 \, cm$ while the height of the liquid column at $0^{\circ}C$ is $120 \, cm$. The coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid is (Ignore expansion of the glass tube):
