A metre long narrow bore held horizontal...

A metre long narrow bore held horizontally (and close at one end) contains a `76` cm long mercury thread, which traps a `15` cm column of air. What happens if the tube is held vertically with the open end at the bottom?

A thin tube of uniform cross-section is sealed at both ends. It lies horizontally, the middle 5 cm containing mercury and the two equal end containing air at the same pressure P. When the tube is held at an angle of 60^@ with the vetical direction, the length of the air column above and below the mercury column are 46 cm and 44.5 cm respectively. Calculate the pressure P in centimeters of mercury. (The temperature of the system is kept at 30^@C ).

A column of mercury of 10cm length is contained in the middle of a narrow horizontal 1m long tube which is closed at both the ends. Both the halves of the tube contain air at a pressure of 76 cm of mercury. By what distance will the column of mercury be displaced if the tube is held vertically?
