A narrow uniform glass tube contains air enclosed by 15 cm long thread of mercury. When the tube is vertical with open end uppermost, the air column is 30 cm long. When the tube is inverted, the length of air column becomes 45 cm. Calculate the atmospheric pressure.

A Quill's tube of one metre is taken. A certain amount of ideal gas is trapped in it by a 20 cm length of Hg column. When the tube is held vertical with open end upwards, the length of the gas column is 50 cm. Find the pressure and length of the trapped gas, when the Quill's tube is kept in slanting position making 45^(@) with the vertical open and upwards. (Take atmospheric pressure as 76 cm of Hg and sqrt(2)=1.414) .
