An antique capillary tube is submitted to the National Museum. The said tube,
fixed horizontally in its display case, contains a 10 cm air column, being blocked by an 8 cm column of mercury
towards the open end of the tube. What will be the length of the air column when
the tube is fixed vertically with the open end down, assuming that the pressure prior to changing its orientation is 1
atm?
A. 9.0 cm
B. 10.1 cm
C. 11.2 cm
D: 12.3 cm
C. 11.2 cm
1 atm = 76 cmHg
P2 + 8 cmHg = 76 cmHg
P2 = 68 cmHg
P1L1 = P2L2
(76)(10) = (68)(L2)
L2 = 11.2 cm
