With a little help from my friends

A 10 cm column of air is trapped by a 8 cm column of Hg in a capillary tube.....the tube is horizontallly fixed as shown in the figure at 1 atm pressure. Calculate the length of air column when the tube is fixed:

(a) vertically with open end up

(b) vertically with open end down

(c) at 45° from horizontal with the open end up

similarly when end is down. the pressure is 76-8 =68. and same method as above

Just try PV=constant for the gas trapped

as when it is up

P=P0+hρg

for a)

initially pressure of trapped gas = 1 atm=76 cm of mercury

final pressure is P0+hρg=76 cm + 8 cm of mercury=84 cm

P1V1=P2V2

76*A*10=84*A*l
l=760/84=190/21

for c is pressure is 76- 8 cos 45 and same method as above.

the main point is t use boyle`s law.
