A Thermometer Is Constructed by Filling a Small Glass Tube \circ

Question 10

Multiple Choice

A thermometer is constructed by filling a small glass tube with a liquid that expands linearly with temperature.The thermometer is then calibrated at 0 \circ C and 100 \circ C,and the scale evenly divided between the two values.Unfortunately a manufacturing defect results in the middle one-third of the tube being narrower,otherwise the tube has uniform diameter.For what range of temperatures is the reading accurate?
