The lengths of the mercury column of a mercury thermometer are 1.26cm and 20.86cm respectively at the standard fixed points. What is the temperature of body, which produces 9.0cm of this mercury column?

The following sets of readings are for a hypothetical Resonance Tube Experiment.The Frequency of the turning forks is f and l is the first resonant length


F(Hz) 200 250 300 350 400 450
l(cm) 33.5 24.0 18.3 14.3 11.3 8.9
1. Obtain an equation for l in terms of f
2. Plot a graph with l as ordinate and f-1( F Whole Number,Raise to de power negative 1(-1) )
3. Use the graph to determine the speed of sound in air and the end correction of the tube
