The column of mercury in a barometer (see Figure below) has a height of 0.760 m when the pressure is one atmosphere and the
temperature is 0.0 °C. Ignoring any change in the glass containing the mercury, what will be the height of the mercury column for the
same one atmosphere of pressure when the temperature rises to 33.1 °C on a hot day? Hint: The pressure in the barometer is Pressure
pgh, and the density p changes when the temperature
changes.
