A Thermometer Is Constructed by Filling a Small Glass Tube $\circ$

question 41

Multiple Choice

A thermometer is constructed by filling a small glass tube with a liquid that expands linearly with temperature.The thermometer is then calibrated at 0 ^$\circ$ C and 100 ^$\circ$ C,and the scale evenly divided between the two values.Unfortunately a manufacturing defect results in the middle one-third of the tube being narrower,otherwise the tube has uniform diameter.For what range of temperatures is the reading accurate?

• A)0 \(\circ\) C to 33 \(\circ\) C
• B)0 \(\circ\) C and 67 \(\circ\) C
• C)0 \(\circ\) C to 33 \(\circ\) C and 67 \(\circ\) C to 100 \(\circ\) C
• D)67 \(\circ\) C to 100 \(\circ\) C
• E)At no point does this thermometer gives the right reading except at 0 \(\circ\) C and 100 \(\circ\) C.
