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