$A$ glass flask contains some mercury at room temperature. It is found that at different temperatures the volume of air inside the flask remains the same. If the volume of mercury in the flask is $300 \, cm^3$,then the volume of the flask is ........ $cm^3$. (Given that the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is $\gamma_{Hg} = 1.8 \times 10^{-4} (^{\circ}C)^{-1}$ and the coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $\alpha_{glass} = 9 \times 10^{-6} (^{\circ}C)^{-1}$)

The volume of the bulb of a mercury thermometer at $0^\circ C$ is $V_0$ and the cross-section of the capillary is $A_0$. The coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $a_g$ per $^\circ C$ and the coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is $\gamma_m$ per $^\circ C$. If the mercury just fills the bulb at $0^\circ C$,what is the length of the mercury column in the capillary at $T^\circ C$?
