$A$ glass flask of volume $1 \, L$ is completely filled with mercury at $0 \, ^\circ C$. The temperature of the glass flask and mercury is raised to $100 \, ^\circ C$. If the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is $1.82 \times 10^{-4} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$ and the coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $0.1 \times 10^{-4} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$,how much mercury will overflow from the flask?

$A$ glass flask of volume $1 \text{ litre}$ is filled completely with mercury at $0^{\circ} C$. The flask is now heated to $100^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is $1.82 \times 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and the coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $0.1 \times 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} C$. During this process, the amount of mercury which overflows is (in $\text{ cc}$)
