The mercury thermometer operates on the principle of dilation.

<h3>What is the working principle of a mercury thermometer?</h3>

Like all liquids, mercury expands as it is heated, so it moves along the thermometer tube, determining the temperature. Its expansion rate is calibrated on the glass scale, expansion is linear and can be accurately calibrated.

Mercury allows it to be used in a thermometer by its liquid expansion fast enough to measure something so that it still maintains an accurate measurement.

Some good estimates about the human body can be made if it is assumed that we are made mostly of water. The mass of a water mole
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of water molecule m=2.99\times 10^{-26}\ kg

mass of person M=62\ kg

It is given that body is mostly made up of water

suppose n water molecules constitutes 62 kg

so n\times m=M

n=\frac{62}{2.99\times 10^{-26}}

n=20.73\times 10^{26}\ kg

How did Archimedes measure the mass of the block of gold?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Archimedes found a piece of gold and a piece of silver with exactly the same mass. He dropped the gold  into a bowl filled to the brim with water and measured the volume of water that spilled out. Then he did the same thing with the piece of solver. Although both metals had the same mass, the silver gad a larger volume; therefore, it displaced more water than the gold did. That's because the silver was less dense than gold. Afterwards he applied the same method to the crown for the king he served who had got a new crown from a jeweler who gave it to him. Archimedes found a piece of pure gold that had the same mass as the crown. He placed the pure gold chuck and the crown in water, one at a time. The crown displaced more water the piece of gold. Therefore, its density was less than pure gold.
