The height of a mercury column measured with a brass scale, which is correct and equal to `H_0` at `0^@C`, is `H_1` at `t^@C`? The coefficient of linear expansion of brass is `alpha` and the coefficient of linear expansion of brass is `alpha` and the corfficient of volume expansion of mercury is `gamma`. Relate `H_0` and `H_1`.

Answer» Since the scale is correct at `0^@C`
1 cm at `0^@C` exactly 1 cm
`:.` 1 cm at `t^@C`
`=`exactly`(1+alphat)cm`
`:. H_1cm` at `t^@C=H_1(1+alphat)cm`
Since pressure is the same, namely, the atmosphere pressure.
`rho_0gH_0=rho_tgH_1(1+alphat)`
or `rho_1(1+gammat)H_0=H_1rho_1(1+alpha)`
or `H_0 ~~ H_1(1+alpha)(1-gammat)`
