6. (a) For the experiment on linear expansion of a solid, you were given the relationship 1 = 1 (1 + α0). (1) Define all the symbols in this expression. [3] (ii) Use this relationship to show that 1₂ = 1,[1 + a(0₂ − 0, )], where ½2 and / correspond to ₂ and 0₁, respectively. Clearly state any assumptions that you make. [5] (b) In the experiment to determine the coefficient of volume expansion of water, what assumption is made regarding the volume expansion coefficient of the specific gravity bottle?
