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 ?

Nearly 24 cm of mercury flows out, and the remaining 52 cm of mercury thread plus the 48 cm of air above it remain in equilibrium with the outside atmospheric pressure (We assume there is no change in temperature throughout).
A 10 cm column of air is trapped by a column of mercury, 8 cm long, in a capillary tube horizantally fixed as shown below, at 1 atm pressure. When the tube is held at certain angle theta^(@) with open end up, the weight of Hg is borne partially by the gas. Vertical Height of Hg is a measure of additional pressure on gas. The length of air coloumn,when the tube is fixed vertically with opend end down at same temperature is
