A piece of metal floats on mercury. The coeff. of volume expansion of metal & Hg are ¥1 & ¥2 resp. If the temp. Of both Hg & metal are inreased by delta T, then by what factor does the fraction of the volume of the metal submerged in Hg changes? [ans.....(¥2-¥1)deltaT] pls tel the idea......

Excuse me....I have the same question in my physics module/sheet of class 11 resonance institute Kota. But they have given answer-[1+(¥2)(delta T)]÷[(1+(¥1)(delta T)]
