A metre long narrow bore held horizontal...

A metre long narrow bore held horizontally (and closed 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 ?

Air separated from the atmosphere by a column of mercury of length h = 15 cm is present in a narrow cylindrical two soldered at one end. When the tube is placed horizontally the air occupies a volume V_(1)= 240 mm^(3), When it is set vertically with its open end upwards the volume of the air is V_(2)=200 mm^(3). The atmospheric pressure during the experiment is 7n cm of Hg where n is single digit number. Find n.

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?
