Answer:

The change in mercury volume ΔV is proportional to the temperature increase ΔT according to the formula: ΔV = βVΔT. ΔT =20°C .The relation between how much mercury rises in the thermometer Δh and the volume increase ΔV is following

ΔV = A*Δh

Therefore if the tube cross sectional area is doubled A₂ = 2*A₁ then the mercury rise will be twice smaller because ΔV is the same ΔV = A₁*Δh₁ = A₂*Δh₂

A₁* 8 = A₂*Δh₂

A₁* 8 = 2*A₁*Δh₂

Δh₂ = 4 cm
