Q.

A rectangular narrow U-tube has equal arm lengths and base length, each equal to l. the vertical arms are filled with mercury up to l/2 and then one end is sealed. By heating the enclosed gas all the mercury is expelled. If atmospheric pressure is  P0, the density of mercury is ρ and cross-sectional area is S, then[Neglect thermal expansion of glass and mercury]
