A Question 2 (1 point) Retake question n +AT A mercury thermometer is constructed as shown above. The glass capillary tube has a diameter of 0.005cm, and the bulb has a diameter of 0.26cm. Find the change in height of the mercury column that occurs with a temperature change of 18C. State your answer in mm to the nearest mm. HINT: To simplify this problem, assume that the dimensions of the capillary tube will not change (so assume that only the bulb experiences temperature change!) Linear expansion coefficient of glass is 3.4x10'6loCl'1 Volume expansion coefficient of mercury is 180x106 (C'Cl'1
