THERMAL PROPERTIES OF METER 


The crocus flower is a natural thermometer. It opens when the temperature is precisely 23 degree centigrade and closes when the temperature drops.






Liquid in Glass Thermometer Construction:

A liquid in glass thermometer has a bulb whit a log capillary tube of uniform and fine bore.

PRINCIPLE    

Liquid in glass thermometer is made on he principle of expansion of heating.

      A suitable liquid is filed in the bulb. When  we touch the bulb with a hot body, the liquid in it expands and rises in the tube. the glass stem of a thermometer is thick and acts as a cylindrical lens. This makes it easy to see the liquid lever in the glass tube.


THE MERCURY IN GLASS THERMOMETERS\

Mercury freezes at -39 degree centigrade and boils at 357 degree centigrade.
Mercury has all the thermometer properties. So mercury is one of the most suitable thermometer materials. Murcury in glass thermometer are widely used in laboratories, clinic and house to measure tempertatures in the range from -10 to 150 degree centigrade.

SETS

By
                                             SETS       INTRODUCTION           We often speak some words in daily life which represent a collection of things, for example, a team of players, a bunch of flowers, a cluster of trees, a group of friends, a swarm of birds and so on. But in mathematics, we can use a single word "set" to denote all such type of words that show the collection of things such as, a set of players, a set of flowers, a set of trees, a set of friends and a set of birds, etc. Thus we can define a set as:     "A collection of distinct and well-defined objects is called a set. "  The objects of a set are called its members or elements.    ...

SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION

By
 SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION A body is said to be vibrating if it moves back and forth or to and fro about a point. Another term for vibration is oscillation. A special kind of vibratory or oscillatory motion is called the simple harmonic motion A spider detects its prey due to vibration produced in the web. MOTION OF MASS ATTACHED TO A SPRING One of the simplest types of oscillatory motion is that of horizontal mass-spring system . If the spring is stretched or compressed through a small displacement x from its mean position, it exerts a force F on the mass. According to Hooke’s law this force is directly proportional to the change in length x of the spring.                                                      F = - k x where x is the displacement of the mass from its mean position O, and k is a constant called the spring constant defined as ...
