The lengths of the mercury column of a mercury thermometer are 1.26cm and 20.86cm respectively at the standard fixed points. what is the temperature of body, which produces 9.0cm of this mercury column?

The temperature of the body is equal to 39.48°C

Why?

To find the temperature of the body that produces 9.0cm of this mercury column, we need to use the formula for linear interpolation. Also, the temperatures to use are based on the Celsius degrees scale.

For the fixed tempetatures, we have:

We need to use the following formula for linear interpolation:

Then, we have:

So, interpolating we have:

Hence, the temperature of the body is equal to 39.48°C

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
