The column of mercury in a barometer (see Figure 11.11) has a height of 0.760 m when the pressure is one atmosphere and the temperature is 0.0 8C. 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 38.0 8C on a hot day?
