    The document discusses thermal equilibrium and temperature calculations using mercury thermometers. It provides 5 word problems involving measuring temperatures based on the length of mercury columns at known temperature points like ice and steam. The problems can be solved by using the formula provided to calculate temperature given the mercury length and known end points of the thermometer scale.
