The coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is \[0.00018\text{ }/{}^\circ C\] and that of brass \[0.00006/{}^\circ C\]. If a barometer having a brass-scale were to read 74.5 cm at \[30{}^\circ C\], find the true barometric height (in cm) at \[0{}^\circ C\]. The scale is supposed to be correct at \[15{}^\circ C\].
