Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ...Wt) = gm. Gauge reading, long arm = short arm =.-. P2--Pi = cm. Wt. of bulb + Hg..-Wt. of Hg Tem.. Den. of Hg--.-. V=.'. d = Regnault's value = % error = Problems 1. A glass tube open at one end is 60 cm. long. The inside is covered with a soluble pigment. After a sea sounding, in which the tube was lowered vertically, open end down, the pigment was found to be dissolved to within 5 cm. of the top. The density of sea water being 1.03, find the depth of the sea. 2. A tube 100 cm. long is half filled with mercury. It is then inverted in, a cistern of mercury. How high does the mercury stand in the tube above the cistern? (Bar. Ht. 76 = cm.) 3. A barometer tube was imperfectly filled. When the space above the mercury contained 10 cc, the barometer indicated 70 cm. pressure. When the space above was reduced to 5 cc. by pushing the barometer down into the cistern, it indicated 69.5 cm. What was the true barometric height? 4. Show why the true zero of a vibration which is gradually dying down because of damping, is not obtained by taking the mean of two successive turning points, one on the right and one on the left. 5. Show why the true zero is obtained by averaging the mean of two successive turning points on one side with the intervening turning point on the other. THE MEASUREMENT OF TEMPERATURE Theory It is a fact of common observation that as a body grows hot it increases in volume. Quantitative measurement shows, however, that as different bodies pass through the same change QaviMsIac of temperature, e. g., from the freezing to the boiling point of water, their expansions per cubic centimeter are widely different. In 1787, however, a Frenchman by the name of Charles announced that all gases show the same expansions as they pass between two fixed temperatures....
