A vertical cylinder of height 100 cm contains air at a constant temperature and its top is closed by a frictionless piston at atmospheric pressure (76 cm of Hg) asshown in figure-2.12. If mercury is slowly poured on the piston, due to its weight airis compressed. Find the maximum height of the mercury column which can be put on the piston.
