The coefficient of volumetric expansion of mercury is $18 \times 10^{-5} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$. $A$ thermometer bulb has a volume $10^{-6} \, m^3$ and the cross-section of the stem is $0.004 \, cm^2$. Assuming that the bulb is filled with mercury at $0 \, ^\circ C$,find the length of the mercury column at $100 \, ^\circ C$.

  • A
    $18.8 \, mm$
  • B
    $9.2 \, mm$
  • C
    $7.4 \, cm$
  • D
    $4.5 \, cm$
