Answer:
c. equal to 760 mm
Explanation:
We are told that another mercury barometer is used that has a tube of larger diameter. This means a larger area and the weight of the liquid in the tube will have increased since volume = area × height. Also, due to the larger area, the net upward force on the mercury will have also increased by the same amount because force = area × pressure. Therefore, as long as the pressure remains the same, the height of the mercury will also remain the same.
Thus the height of the mercury = 760 mm
