Question:medium
The apparent coefficient of expansion of a liquid, when heated in a copper vessel, is \( C \) and when heated in a silver vessel is \( S \). If \( A \) is the linear coefficient of expansion of copper, then the linear coefficient of expansion of silver is:
The apparent coefficient of expansion of a liquid, when heated in a copper vessel, is \( C \) and when heated in a silver vessel is \( S \). If \( A \) is the linear coefficient of expansion of copper, then the linear coefficient of expansion of silver is:
Show Hint
In problems involving the apparent coefficient of expansion, remember that the expansion of the vessel affects the total expansion of the liquid. Use the formula for apparent expansion to solve such problems.

- \( \frac{C - S - 3A}{3} \)
- \( \frac{C + 3A - S}{3} \)
- \( \frac{S + 3A - C}{3} \)
- \( \frac{C + S + 3A}{3} \)
