Kink in the Mercury thermometer helps to prevents the falling of mercury present in capillary  tube into bulb. It ensures that the user takes the correct reading of temperature. That's the reason a person before taking a new reading must give a sudden shake to the clinical thermometer so that the mercury level comes to normal .

Answer:

A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.

While standing on a bridge 40.0 m above the ground, you drop a stone from rest. when the stone has fallen 3.80 m, you throw a se
Norma-Jean [14]
Given: distance 1 d₁ = 40 m;  distance 2 d₂ = 3.8 m   g = -9.8 m/s²

 Initial Velocity Vi = 0  Final Velocity of stone 2 is unknown = ?

Total distance dₓ = d₁ - d₂  = 40 m - 3.8 m = 36.2 m

Formula: a = Vf² -  Vi²/2d   derive for Final Velocity Vf
 
acceleration is now due to gravity, therefore a = g

Vf = √2gd   Vf = √2(9.8 m/s²)(36.2 m)

Vf = 26.64 m/s  

Reason: The second stone will still start from rest.
