Question: Assume that at temperature T = - 2 0 C the ethanol and the bulb have the same volume V = 1 5 0 mm

Assume that at temperature T =-20C the ethanol and the bulb have the same volume V=150 mm3(that is, the ethanol perfectly fits into the bulb and l =0). Solve for the volume of the ethanol and for the volume of the glass bulb when they are both at temperature T =0C. Write a solution defining your variables, explaining any equations you use, and showing units in your work. You may find it helpful to recall that a hole in a material will experience the same amount of volume expansion as the material itself.
