A barometer has become faulty because some air has leaked into the space above the mercury column. The height of the mercury column is $70 c m$ and the length of the space above the mercury is $10 c m$ . The barometer space is pushed further down into the mercury trough. The length of space above mercury reduces to $6 c m$ and the height of mercury column is found to decrease to $67 c m$ . This information shows that the true atmospheric pressure must be:
