AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the change in pressure We know the height of the mercury column at sea level is 76 cm and at a particular height is 63.3 cm. The change in pressure can be calculated as: \[ \text{Change in Pressure} = \text{Pressure at Sea Level} - \text{Pressure at Height} \] \[ ...
