Suppose the pressure at the surface of mercury in as barometer tube is P_1 and the pressure at the surface of mercury in the cup is P_2 .

A barometer made of very narrow tuve (see fig) is placed at normal temperature and pressure. The coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 0.00018per C^@ and that of the tube is negligible. The temperature of mercury in the barometer is now raised by 1^@C , but the temperature of the atmosphere does not raised by 1^@C , but the temperature of the atmosphere does not change. Then the mercury height in the tube remains unchanged.
