A glass flask of volume one litre at 0°C is filled, level full of mercury at this temperature. The flask and mercury are now heated to 100°C. How much mercury will spill out, if the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 1.82×10-4 C-1 and linear expansion of glass is 0.1×10-4 C-1 respectively?

A piece of metal weighs 46 gm in air. When it is immersed in a liquid of specific gravity 1.24 at 27°C, it weighs 30 gm. When the temperature of the liquid is raised to 42°C, the metal piece weight 30.5 gm. If the specific gravity of the liquid at 42°C is 1.20, then, the linear expansion of the metal will be,
