The diagram figure below shows a glass tube containing enclosed air by a thread of mercury 50mm
long when the tube is held in a horizontal position.
(i) The tube is slowly raised in a vertical position with the open end facing up. Determine
the new length of the trapped air (tube has same area of cross-section; atmospheric pressure = 750mmHg)
(ii) Account for the difference in the column of trapped air using kinetic theory of matter assuming that temperature is constant.
