Two vessels connected by a pipe with a sliding plug contain mercury. In one vessel, the height of mercury column is 39.2 cm and its temperature is 0∘C, while in the other, the height of mercury column is 40 cm and its temperature is 100∘C. Find the coefficient of cubical expansion for mercury. The volume of the connecting pipe should be neglected.
