Galileo thermometer · 3D
Change the temperature and watch six numbered glass floats rise and sink as liquid density changes.
Try this
Change the temperature: floats respond with a delay. Read the lowest floating tag (2 °C steps). Right-drag to orbit; wheel to zoom.
Equations used in the module
Equations ρ(T) = ρ20 / [1 + β(T − 20 °C)] mi = ρ(Ti) V; Fnet = [ρ(T)V − mi]g − cvi T′ = (Tset − T)/τ; mi vi′ = Fnet Vertical motion, effective bulb/tag contacts, uniform liquid temperature
