What is the ratio of the volume of the bulb of a thermometer to the volume of the thin tube in a bulb thermometer. It's not really a problem, but its just something I need to know to for my course. I can't find it anywhere else, so I was wondering if anyone knew it here...
Thanks
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I found out the compressibility of water (the bulk modulus) which was 0.21 *10 ^10 Pa. Using the equation delta(P)=-B*[delta(V)/V], where B was the bulk modulus and rearranging for delta(V) I got the right answer.
