In an experiment to find the liquid expansion coefficient $(\gamma)$,a column of experimental liquid at $T\,^oC$ is balanced against another column of experimental liquid at $0\,^oC$ by taking them in a $U$-tube. The expansion coefficient $(\gamma)$ is?

  • A
    $\frac{h_T}{ (h_T - h_0)T }$
  • B
    $\frac{h_0}{ (h_T - h_0)T }$
  • C
    $\frac{ (h_T - h_0) }{ h_0 T }$
  • D
    $\frac{ h_T - h_0 }{ h_T T }$
