What is a android barometer?
An aneroid barometer, invented by the French 19th century engineer and inventor Lucien Vidie, uses a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell. This aneroid capsule (cell) is made from an alloy of beryllium and copper. The evacuated capsule (or usually more capsules) is prevented from collapsing by a strong spring. Small changes in external air pressure cause the cell to expand or contract. This expansion and contraction drives mechanical levers such that the tiny movements of the capsule are amplified and displayed on the face of the aneroid barometer.
Does the human body expand or contract and why?
I think we can.As our human body which is a solid gains heat , they expand and contract when they lose heat.And solids do expand and contract.

Why does Mercury stay in the barometer?
A barometer is a closed-system vacuum that allows the mercury to expand with changes in temperature and pressure.
Why do veins dilate?
Veins contract and expand in response to blood pressure.
What are examples of expansions and contractions of matter?
Basically, matter can expand or contract due to changes in temperature, or in pressure.
