A scientist's notes read so:
At last I invented the liquid in my lab. For a certain mass of the liquid it had such a firm volume-temperature relation for all range of temperature. It obeys
Where (in °C) is the temperature (in ) is the volume.
Now I need to make a thermometer with this . But how can I make the "temperature" to vary linearly with "height" of the liqiud column with such a weird relation?
I decided to make glass container with circular cross section such that radius of the cross sectional circle vary with height of the container such that when liquid expands the height of liquid column increases linearly with temperature.The container consists of a bulb at the bottom that contained certain mass of liquid and a glass expansion chamber with required shape. For every change in temperature the height raises by . The chamber cross sectional radius varied as
Where is the radius of cross section at height .
up to 2 decimal places.
Bulb contains just the volume of the liquid at .
Neglect this voulme with respect to the container.

Given V(T) =a e b T
and kH=T ( h e i g h t ∝ t e m p e r a t u r e )
V(H)=a e b k H
d ( H ) d V ( H ) = a b k e b k H
V(H)= ∫ 0 H abk e b k H d(H) ⟶ 1
Let F(H) be the radius at height H.
V(H)= ∫ 0 H π F ( H ) 2 d H ⟶ 2
From 1 and 2 F(H)= π a b k e 2 b k H
a = 1 0 − 6 , b = 1 0 0 1 , k = 1 0 4 (1°C for 1 0 − 4 m raise in height )
π a b k 2 b k H = 0 . 2 8
